src/CMakeList.txt
add_subdirectory(static_lib)
add_subdirectory(executable1)
add_subdirectory(executable2)

src/static_lib/CMakeLists.txt
add_library(InternalUse STATIC lib.cpp lib.hpp)

src/executable1/CMakeLists.txt
add_executable(exe1 main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(exe1 InternalUse)
install(TARGETS exe1 DESTINATION bin)

src/executable2/CMakeLists.txt
add_executable(exe2 main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(exe2 InternalUse)
install(TARGETS exe2 DESTINATION bin)

should work as expected.

"only inside this project" would mean
that you shouldn't install this library.
