<p>Hello,<br></p><p>I want to use custom executable linking command in my CMake 
script, namely Synopsys VCS. VCS is a wrapper over GCC, but it uses 
special syntax for passing LD options:</p>

<pre><span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)"><code>vcs -LDFLAGS "<LINK_FLAGS>" <LINK_LIBRARIES> <OBJECTS></code><code> </code></span><br><br><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I've tried to play with <code>CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE:<br></code></span><code><br><span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)">set(CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE "echo CXXFLAGS: <CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS>  LINK_FLAGS: <LINKER_FLAGS> LINK_LIBRARIES: <LINK_LIBRARIES> OBJECTS: <OBJECTS> ")
</span></code>

</pre><p>When I build project i got:</p>

<pre><code><span style="background-color:rgb(208,224,227)">CXXFLAGS: 
LINK_FLAGS:
LINK_LIBRARIES: -rdynamic ../slib/libslib.a ../dlib/libdlib.so -Wl,-rpath,/home/ripopov/proj_cmake/build/dlib 
OBJECTS: CMakeFiles/sim.dir/sc_main.cpp.o</span>
</code></pre>

<p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">So all linker flags together with libraries are in <LINK_LIBRARIES>.  And <LINK_FLAGS> is empty.<br></span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

</span><p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Why it works this way? And how can I extract linker flags from LINK_LIBRARIES?</span></p><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
