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 + :variable:`CMAKE_LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC` if it is set + when a target is created. + +See also :prop_tgt:`LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC`. |
