How to set linker flags for OpenMP in CMake’s try_compile function

by

CMake has a standard module for testing if the compiler supports OpenMP:

find_package(OpenMP)
if (OPENMP_FOUND)
    set (CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} ${OpenMP_C_FLAGS}")
    set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${OpenMP_CXX_FLAGS}")
    set (CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} ${OpenMP_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS}")
endif()

Note:
This answer is not recommended to be used anymore for including OpenMP in the project for current CMake versions. Refer to the other answers.
