I know it's beside the point of your post, but I can't resist.
I do this in the following way.
a) I set up a cached boolean variable USE_STATIC
b) I use the CMake script
if(USE_STATIC)
add_library(myproject STATIC ${PROJECT_SRC})
else()
add_library(myproject SHARED ${PROJECT_SRC})
elseif()
Then I generate two different versions and can
switch back and forth between them.
You see this in the serialization library CMake files
