By default CMake adds an option at the +end of the library list (if necessary) to set the linker search type +back to its starting type. This property switches the final linker +search type to ``-Bstatic`` regardless of how it started. + +This variable is used to initialize the target property +:prop_tgt:`LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC` for all targets. If set, it's +value is also used by the :command:`try_compile` command. + +See also :variable:`CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC`. |
