List of linker search directories.

This property holds a :ref:semicolon-separated 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.
