Setting Cach Variables for CMake Project [message #1833307]

I am writing a C++ program using the C++ CMake project type. The program requires a library that I have not installed in one of the standard places (it is not part of my distribution). The library comes with a CMake Find Module which allows to set a variable containing the root path to search for the library (kind of like the --prefix option from configure).
While setting the variable using cmake-gui works, the value is discarded for each of the regular calls to cmake to (re-)configure the project.
My question therefore is, how can I tell eclipse or rather the eclipse cmake builder to set the variable, whenever it calls cmake?
