There are circumstances where link_directories() is absolutely necessary, so advocating to completely avoid it isn't really a one size fits all scenario. What I've done is make sure that link_directories() is called from a parent level directory, so that all projects inherit the directories. In cases where you do not have a hierarchy setup like this, then call link_directories() once with the same directories before each call to add_executable, add_library, etc. Also one unrelated note, but static libraries do not require any dependencies to be linked in when it is built. You only need your third party libraries in your shared library or executable that links against the static library in question. Hope this helps.
