It is intended for debugging -purposes. +This property holds a :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of directories +and is typically populated using the :command:`link_directories` command. +It gets its initial value from its parent directory, if it has one. + +The directory property is used to initialize the :prop_tgt:`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 :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` +manual for available expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)` +manual for more on defining buildsystem properties. |
