How to set the LDFLAGS in CMakeLists.txt?

问题:

I set the CFLAGS in CMake by CMAKE_C_FLAGS. Is something like this to set LDFLAGS?

回答1:

It depends a bit on what you want:

A) If you want to specify which libraries to link to, you can use find_library to find libs and then use link_directories and target_link_libraries to.

Of course, it is often worth the effort to write a good find_package script, which nicely adds "imported" libraries with add_library( YourLib IMPORTED ) with correct locations, and platform/build specific pre- and suffixes. You can then simply refer to 'YourLib' and use target_link_libraries.

B) If you wish to specify particular linker-flags, e.g. '-mthreads' or '-Wl,--export-all-symbols' with MinGW-GCC, you can use CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS. There are also two similar but undocumented flags for modules, shared or static libraries:

CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS


回答2:

Look at:

CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS


回答3:

You can specify linker flags in target_link_libraries.



回答4:

For linking against libraries see Andre's answer.

For linker flags - the following 4 CMake variables:

CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS
CMAKE_STATIC_LINKER_FLAGS

can be easily manipulated for different configs (debug, release...) with the ucm_add_linker_flags macro of ucm



回答5:

If you want to add a flag to every link, e.g. -fsanitize=address then I would not recommend using CMAKE_*_LINKER_FLAGS. Even with them all set it still doesn't use the flag when linking a framework on OSX, and maybe in other situations. Instead use link_libraries():

add_compile_options("-fsanitize=address")
link_libraries("-fsanitize=address")

This works for everything.
