LINK_DIRECTORIES — CMake 4.3.0 Documentation

# LINK_DIRECTORIES

List of linker search directories.

This property holds a semicolon-separated list of directories and is typically populated using the `link_directories()` command. It gets its initial value from its parent directory, if it has one.

The directory property is used to initialize the `LINK_DIRECTORIES` target property when a target is created. That target property is used by the generators to set the library search directories for the linker.

Contents of `LINK_DIRECTORIES` 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.
