By default the linker search type is +assumed to be -Bdynamic at the beginning of the library list. This +property switches the assumption to -Bstatic. It is intended for use +when linking an executable statically (e.g. with the GNU -static +option). + +This property is initialized by the value of the variable +CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC if it is set when a target is created. + +See also LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC. |
