LINK_DIRECTORIES ---------------- List of linker search directories. This property holds a :ref:`semicolon-separated list ` of directories and is typically populated using the :command:`link_directories` command. It gets its initial value from its parent directory, if it has one. The directory property is used to initialize the :prop_tgt:`LINK_DIRECTORIES` target property when a target is created. That target property is used by the generators to set the library search directories for the linker. Contents of ``LINK_DIRECTORIES`` may use "generator expressions" with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)` manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
