+link_directories
+----------------
+
+Specify directories in which the linker will look for libraries.
+
+::
+
+ link_directories(directory1 directory2 ...)
+
+Specify the paths in which the linker should search for libraries.
+The command will apply only to targets created after it is called.
+Relative paths given to this command are interpreted as relative to
+the current source directory, see CMP0015.
+
+Note that this command is rarely necessary. Library locations
+returned by find_package() and find_library() are absolute paths.
+Pass these absolute library file paths directly to the
+target_link_libraries() command. CMake will ensure the linker finds
+them.
