I had a look at the CMake stuff, and it visibly doesn't allow the
simultaneous generation of the .so shared lib together with the .a
static lib.
As a consequence, one has to build twice civetweb, once with the
"-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON" option (to get the .so), and once without this
option (to get the .a).
Why would you want the static library?
Within Debian binaries must be dynamically linked to their libraries (minus exceptions..), so of I were you I'd just go with the .so only.
