# LINK_LIBRARIES

List of direct link dependencies.

This property specifies the list of libraries or targets which will be used for linking. In addition to accepting values from the `target_link_libraries()` command, values may be set directly on any target using the `set_property()` command.

The value of this property is used by the generators to set the link libraries for the compiler.

Contents of `LINK_LIBRARIES` 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.
