Summary0015706: link_directories ignores <some path>/lib
DescriptionIf I put the following line into CMakeLists.txt Unix Makefile generator doesn't add flag -L<env_dir_content>/lib to linker flags.

link_directories("${env_dir}/lib")

If I change the call to

link_directories("${env_dir}")

I can see -L<env_dir_content> among linker flags.

Just guessing: is ${env_dir}/lib maybe in the systems default linker paths (e.g. ich ${env_dir}=/usr)?

Otherwise, don't use link_directories. Pass absolute paths to target_link_libraries(), CMake will handle the rest.
