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 wrap each entry with the form ::@(directory-id);...;::@
, where the ::@
is literal 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.
