+`$CUDA_LIBRARY_PATH` (e.g. `/opt/cuda/lib64`) will be used for
+`cargo:rustc-link-search`. `$CUDA_LIBRARY_PATH` is not required on Windows when
+Cuda is installed via the typical Windows installer. To verify that cuda-sys can
+find your Cuda installation, you can check that the `CUDA_PATH` environment
+variable has been set.
