Thank you, Jano Svitok and Volker Enderlein.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> I settled for using "set_target_properties( ... )", and to specify multiple LINK_FLAGS I encapsulated both arguments I wanted to pass in a single set of quotes (with a space between them). I suppose the APPEND_STRING
approach could also work well, if I wanted to add multiple.<br>

I appreciate the help!<o:p></o:p></p>

I have a project where I attempt to add linker flags to a Visual Studio project using<br>
<br>
target_link_libraries(lib_target PRIVATE /OPT:NOREF)<br>
<br>
But it seems like the `/` syntax automatically has CMake assuming that the flag is a file, and it complains it cannot find the file. Is there any way to have CMake recognize a passed-in linker flag using this syntax? As a side note, is there perhaps a better
way of passing in Linker flags that I am not aware of? Documentation stated that using "target_link_libraries" is preferred, and I did not find "target_link_options".<o:p></o:p></p>
