CMake: use a custom linker

I want to setup a custom toolchain with CMake. I've set the compiler but I don't know how to set the linker. This error is reported because CMake try to use the compiler to link:

The C compiler "xgcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.

Here there is a snippet of my toolchain file

# specify the cross compiler
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER   xgcc.exe)
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER xgcc.exe)
Solution

  • I have to use CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE, CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE variable:

    SET(CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE "c:\\MoSync\\bin\\pipe-tool.exe")
