# SharedStaticStarter

![Test workflow](https://github.com/alexreinking/SharedStaticStarter/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)

A simple starter project showing how to distribute both static and shared libraries in CMake.

The basic challenge is that CMake targets represent a single physical library, so there are a bunch of
competing standards for determining whether `SomeLib::SomeLib` ought to be shared or static. In the
associated blog post, I develop this solution from three basic principles:

1. The build interface should match the install interface. 
2. Only strict build requirements belong in CMakeLists.txt.
3. A single project will not mix both shared and static versions of a library.
