[CMake] creating a shared and static library of the same name

[Xavier Delannoy]

it's possible with CMake greater to 2.3.4. I used two diferent destination directories for the static and shared libs.

assuming you're working in the 'libfoo' directory : 

libfoo/sources.txt
      /CMakeLists.txt
      /static/CMakeLists.txt
      /shared/CMakeLists/txt
      *.c

>cat sources.txt
#include common src file
AUX_SOURCE_DIRECTORY( ../ LIBFOO_SRCS)

>cat CMakeLists.txt
PROJECT(LIBFOO C)

SUBDIRS(static)
SUBDIRS(shared)

>cat static/CMakeLists.txt
INCLUDE(${LIBFOO_SOURCE_DIR}/sources.txt)

# I used BUILDDESTLIB from an environment var, I think it's better to use a CMake Variable.
SET(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH "$ENV{BUILDDESTLIB}/static")	

ADD_LIBRARY(foo_static STATIC ${LIBFOO_SRCS})
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(foo_static PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME foo)

>cat shared/CMakeLists.txt
INCLUDE(${LIBFOO_SOURCE_DIR}/sources.txt)

SET(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH "$ENV{BUILDDESTLIB}")

ADD_LIBRARY(foo_shared SHARED ${LIBFOO_SRCS})

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(foo_shared PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME foo)

Hope this will help you.
