Eclipse CDT, build both static lib and shared lib

Question

How is it possible to make project in Eclipse CDT to target both static library and shared library?

Answer 1

(assuming you initially created a shared library project)

Create a new build configuration for static library (as you do for Debug/Release).

• Right click on project
• Build Configuration
• Manage
• New (follow instruction, e.g. name: Static)
• Properties
• C/C++ Build
• Select the new configuration under "Configuration"
• Build Artifact
• Artifact type: Static Library

Build your configurations (e.g. Release, Debug, Static)

• Right click on project
• Build Configuration
• Build
• All

Release and Debug config should create your shared library
Static should create your static library
