CMake to create -L <path> -l <lib> link flags for static libraries

I am using CMake 2.8 to create an application based on MQX OS (using CodeWarrior).
The CMake project basically creates a set of static libraries (say, LIB1 and LIB2).
Then I refer to these libraries in the last cmake rule that is executed:

target_add_executable(X ${some_sources})
target_link_libraries(X LIB1 LIB2)

My problem is that some characters are defined in most of the same library.
Thus, a communication command is like:

mwldarm <args> -o <output> <objects> /path/to1/libLIB1.a /path/to2/libLIB2.a

will lead to multiple character error detection. Instead, I would like CMake to generate a communication command, for example:

mwldarm <args> -o <output> <objects> -L/path/to1 -L/path/to2 -lLIB -lLIB2

Question: How to get the following variables from CMAKE?

  • Flags libraries libraries (eg: -L/path/to1 -L/path/to2)
  • (: -lLIB -lLIB2)

When I run the cross executable compiled for android, which links the shared library created using the same CMake scripts, I encounter a communication failure problem. After I used the aforementioned hacking method to get a new version, I can run my executable with the command as shown below

 $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./the_exe opts
