No, target names in cmake need to be unique within the same CMakeLists.txt
at least (not sure if they need to be unique globally) and hence using 2
different names for the shared and static lib are necessary. Once you have
that you can use set_target_properties with COMPILE_DEFINITIONS without any
problem.
