LINK_DEPENDS

Additional files on which a target binary depends for linking.

Specifies a semicolon-separated list of full-paths to files on which the link rule for this target depends. The target binary will be linked if any of the named files is newer than it.

This property is supported only by Makefile and Ninja generators. It is intended to specify dependencies on “linker scripts” for custom Makefile link rules.

Contents of LINK_DEPENDS may use “generator expressions” with the syntax $<...>. See the cmake-generator-expressions(7) manual for available expressions. See the cmake-buildsystem(7) manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
