Building static and dynamic

Feb 14, 2016

I am fairly sure I have asked this before, but I can't find the email… LDC builds for static and dynamic libraries fine, but it requires two independent build/install with a manual edit of a file in between. Is there any way of getting CMake to create a build that build both and installs both without intervention? -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder

I have noted this on the issue as well:

In order to generate both static and dynamic libraries, you have to run the build twice. In the CMakeCache.txt file, near the top is an option:

//Whether to build the runtime as a shared library BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON

Switching this to ON creates dynamic libraries, amending to OFF and rerunning the build creates the static libraries. My question is: Surely CMake can do both as a single batch job? If it cannot then it would have to be seen as a mark that CMake is crap.
