Shared libraries and static libraries are different in a very
fundamental way. CMake cannot simply convert one to the other.

If you want your executable to use static libraries, you must build all
those libraries statically, then link your executable with those static
libraries. add_library() takes a STATIC option, so if you are building
all the libs yourself you may just need to add that flag to each
library's add_library() call.
