| LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| Assume the linker looks for static libraries by default. |
| |
| Some linkers support switches such as ``-Bstatic`` and ``-Bdynamic`` to |
| determine whether to use static or shared libraries for ``-lXXX`` options. |
| CMake uses these options to set the link type for libraries whose full |
| paths are not known or (in some cases) are in implicit link |
| directories for the platform. 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. |
| |
