BUILD_SHARED_LIBS does not guard add_library (glew SHARED ...)

[VA-GS]

Hello, is it expected that with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS being false, the glew shared library is still created ? I hit the issue using the conan package as they use the all target but I set some flags on my dependencies that are correct only for static linking and expected glew_s only to be built.

It looks like the CMakeLists.txt is building both static and shared (suprise!) but only installing one or the other.
I agree that it would be more conventional to have both static and shared optional, and only build what's asked for.

It's possible that the intention here is to closely match how the GNUmake build is arranged.
But I agree that it seems defying the usual cmake convention.
