target_link_options ------------------- Add link options to a target. .. code-block:: cmake target_link_options(<target> [BEFORE] <INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items1...] [<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items2...] ...]) Specifies link options to use when linking a given target. The named ``<target>`` must have been created by a command such as :command:`add_executable` or :command:`add_library` and must not be an :ref:`ALIAS target <Alias Targets>`. If ``BEFORE`` is specified, the content will be prepended to the property instead of being appended. This command can be used to add any options, but alternative commands exist to add libraries (:command:`target_link_libraries` and :command:`link_libraries`). See documentation of the :prop_dir:`directory <LINK_OPTIONS>` and :prop_tgt:`target <LINK_OPTIONS>` ``LINK_OPTIONS`` properties. The ``INTERFACE``, ``PUBLIC`` and ``PRIVATE`` keywords are required to specify the scope of the following arguments. ``PRIVATE`` and ``PUBLIC`` items will populate the :prop_tgt:`LINK_OPTIONS` property of ``<target>``. ``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` items will populate the :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS` property of ``<target>``. (:ref:`IMPORTED targets <Imported Targets>` only support ``INTERFACE`` items.) The following arguments specify link options. Repeated calls for the same ``<target>`` append items in the order called. Arguments to ``target_link_options`` 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. .. include:: OPTIONS_SHELL.txt .. include:: LINK_OPTIONS_LINKER.txt
