[CMake] combining multiple build variants into the same package (and install prefix)

[stefan]

Hello,

I'm trying to repackage an upstream project that's using CMake. The 
project is set up to allow me to specify whether to build shared or 
static libs using the BUILD_SHARED_LIBS when invoking cmake. However, 
rather than generating two separate packages for the two variants, I'd 
like to combine both into a single package. The built artefacts 
themselves allow that, as the only difference is that one variant 
produces *.so files and the other *.a. Everything else (notably headers) 
should be identical. This means I can join both into the same install 
prefix.

The difficulty arises with the generated cmake helper files that define 
the targets for downstream projects, as both build variant would 
generate the same target names, but one referring to the shared libs, 
the other to the static libs.

Is there a way to rename one set of exported target names to allow both 
to co-exist without having to install the build variants into distinct 
install prefixes ?

Thanks,

Stefan
