If you set this to true in your cache, then all libraries in your project that aren't explicitly STATIC will be built as shared and vice-versa. something like this should do it: cd static_lib_dir cmake -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=FALSE ../srcdir cd shared_lib_dir cmake -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=TRUE ../srcdir this is exactly what I've tried. I think the short answer to your question is that you need separate build directories for shared and static (otherwise you may get name clashes, e.g. windows .lib files are produced for both shared and static builds). Alternatively, you could try setting up different build configurations for static and shared libraries from the same build directory - the output would go in different directories (as debug and release do).  However this may not be portable to generators that do not support multiple build configurations.  I'm not sure how to do this though.
