LINK_LIBRARIES¶
List of direct link dependencies.
This property specifies the list of libraries or targets which will be
used for linking. In addition to accepting values from the
target_link_libraries()
command, values may be set directly on
any target using the set_property()
command.
The value of this property is used by the generators to set the link libraries for the compiler.
Contents of LINK_LIBRARIES
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.
Note
A call to target_link_libraries(<target> ...)
may update this
property on <target>
. If <target>
was not created in the same
directory as the call then target_link_libraries()
will add a
suffix of the form ::@<directory-id>
to each entry, where the
::@
is a separator and the <directory-id>
is unspecified.
This tells the generators that the named libraries must be looked up in
the scope of the caller rather than in the scope in which the
<target>
was created. Valid directory ids are stripped on export
by the install(EXPORT)
and export()
commands.
