[CMake] Static/Shared library targets becomes Static/Shared configurations under VS9

[Aurélien Vallée]

Hello,
I have some questions regarding CMake generator for VS9.

My library can be built as shared or static. Currently, this is handled
using two different targets in CMakeLists.txt.
The problem is that under Visual Studio 2008, those two targets are two
projects !

So in the solution explorer I have something like :

* MyLibrary_Solution

    * Module1_static

    * Module1_dynamic

    * Module2_static

    * Module2_dynamic

  ...


This is really annoying, since the source files are the same, only the
configuration changes (defines ...).

I wondered whether it would be possible to have those different targets
become different configurations.

I would like to have such configurations :
Static Debug
Static Release
Dynamic Debug
Dynamic Release

And such projects :
Module 1
Module 2
Module 3
...

Here is my CMakeLists.txt for a module (Windowing) :
