link_libraries -------------- Link libraries to all targets added later. .. code-block:: cmake link_libraries([item1 [item2 [...]]] [[debug|optimized|general] ] ...) Specify libraries or flags to use when linking any targets created later in the current directory or below by commands such as :command:`add_executable` or :command:`add_library`. See the :command:`target_link_libraries` command for meaning of arguments. .. note:: The :command:`target_link_libraries` command should be preferred whenever possible. Library dependencies are chained automatically, so directory-wide specification of link libraries is rarely needed.
