CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_USE_LINKER

New in version 3.27.

For the Makefile and Ninja generators, link dependencies are now, for a selection of linkers, generated by the linker itself. By defining this variable with value FALSE, you can deactivate this feature.

This feature is also deactivated if the LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED target property is true.

Note

CMake version 3.29.8 defaults this variable to FALSE because GNU binutils linkers (ld, ld.bfd, ld.gold) generate spurious dependencies on temporary files when LTO is enabled. See GNU bug 30568.
