CMake: Allow using BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to choose static/shared libs (#655) By convention projects using CMake which can build either static or shared libraries use a BUILD_SHARED_LIBS flag to allow selecting between both: the add_library() command automatically switches between both using this variable when the library kind is not passed to add_library(). It is also usual to expose the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS as an user-facing setting with the option() command. This way, the following will both work as expected: % cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ... % cmake -DBUILS_SHARED_LIBS=ON ... This is helpful for distributions which need (or want) to build only static libraries.
