| link_libraries | |
| -------------- | |
| Link libraries to all targets added later. | |
| .. code-block:: cmake | |
| link_libraries([item1 [item2 [...]]] | |
| [[debug|optimized|general] <item>] ...) | |
| Specify libraries or flags to use when linking any targets created later in | |
| the current directory or below by commands such as :command:`add_executable` | |
| or :command:`add_library`. See the :command:`target_link_libraries` command | |
| for meaning of arguments. | |
| .. note:: | |
| The :command:`target_link_libraries` command should be preferred whenever | |
| possible. Library dependencies are chained automatically, so directory-wide | |
| specification of link libraries is rarely needed. |
