\subsection{Static vs.\ Shared Libraries }
Shared libraries ({\tt .dll} on Windows, {\tt .so} on Linux, {\tt .dylib}
on MacOS) are built by default. You can choose to produce static libraries
instead by setting the \cmake\ variable
\texttt{BUILD\_SHARED\_LIBS} to \texttt{FALSE}. If you use \texttt{cmake-gui}, that
variable appears as a checkable option in the graphical user interface.
