Hi, Do you want a CMake target that can be used for shared linking and static linking? For example, you want to use Parquet::parquet for shared linking and static linking, right?
In my understanding, we can't do it with CMake. We need to specify "SHARED" or "STATIC" when create a CMake target by add_library().
