[CMake] how do I test if a library target is static or shared?

[Aleksander Demko]

Dang, that won't work for me. I'm in effect trying to make my own
EXPORT like command (export doesn't maintain C flags or other stuff I
need) so I need to be able to gleam a bunch of info from the library
targets dynamically.

Basically I want to quickly build one library in one cmake session,
than import it in another (without have to write custom Find-.cmake
files etc). Maybe this exists already in cmake, but I can't seem to
find it.
