I think the short answer to your question is that you need separate 
build directories for shared and static (otherwise you may get name 
clashes, e.g. windows .lib files are produced for both shared and static 
builds).

Alternatively, you could try setting up different build configurations 
for static and shared libraries from the same build directory - the 
output would go in different directories (as debug and release do).  
However this may not be portable to generators that do not support 
multiple build configurations.  I'm not sure how to do this though.
