You can read the content of any file using
file(READ your-file YOURVAR)  cmake command
then use
message("Your-file=${YOURVAR}") to display it,
that said I don't **when** the link.txt file is getting generated so
that I don't
if it'll work from within CMakeLists.txt.

Why do you want to do that?


if you are using Makefile generator then may be

make VERBOSE=1 <target>

would be enough?
