Static and Dynamic lib

[fvella]

Hi,
any option to compile both static and dynamic lib via cmake?

I am actually not sure how to do that with CMake.

According to this answer on stackoverflow it requires changing the CMakeLists.txt.

I might add a new build option. Give me a few days. Otherwise pull requests welcome.

The easiest way for now is just to build in two separate build directories. One with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=On and the other with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=Off.

[FSMaxB]

What exactly is your use case for this? Since adding this to the build system is quite ugly, I'd like to avoid it.

[FSMaxB]

Especially because you can get both by just building twice with different parameters. There is no problem as long as you don't try to install both.

Hi, we have an automatic wrapper for compilation (on top of cmake) and experimental evaluation of HPC libraries.
Unfortunately, I tried using two separate build directories but it is not easy to integrate/maintain since cjson is a dependency of different libraries.

[FSMaxB]

Hm. So let's add an option BUILD_SHARED_AND_STATIC_LIBS that creates shared and static libraries for cJSON and cJSON utils, but not for the tests (unity). The tests will then link against the shared library.

With this hack applied to make it work on Windows with identical names.

Care has to be taken to not break compatibility with old CMake versions. Although not supporting this feature on older versions of CMake is fine by me.

I'll see what I can do.

I've implemented this on the develop branch, it will be included in the next minor release.
