Hi, The docs [1] say:
"This variable [BUILD_SHARED_LIBS] is often added to projects as an option()" [1] https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.html Does that literally mean adding the option this way? option(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build shared library" OFF) Or, adding an extra level of indirection via custom option: option(XXX_BUILD_SHARED "Build shared library" OFF) if (XXX_BUILD_SHARED) set(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON) endif() I do realise it's question about docs pedantism, but I'd like to get that cleared once for good :) I'm trying to cut number of custom options and I'm never certain how I can actually re/ab-use the standard CMake settings.
