I have a top-level cmake list file with this in it:

OPTION (MDP_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS "Build Shared Libraries" ON)
SET (LIB_TYPE STATIC)

 SET (LIB_TYPE SHARED)
 IF (WIN32)
   ADD_DEFINITIONS("-DMDP_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS")
 ENDIF (WIN32)
ENDIF (MDP_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)

In a lower subdirectory, I have this to build a library:

ADD_LIBRARY(Test ${LIB_TYPE} Test.cpp)

Bill has already given you a global way to set static or shared libraries,
but what caught my eye here is that your LIB_TYPE was not propagating to
lower directories as it should.

I successfully use such propagation of variables all the time with
ADD_SUBDIRECTORY. Are you using SUBDIRS instead?  I don't use it, but I have
heard it does things quite differently than ADD_SUBDIRECTORY. SUBDIRS is not
officially deprecated yet, but the words about it in the man page indicate
it is close to deprecation.
