if (UNIX)
    if (NOT APPLE)
        set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -fPIC")

I don't know a lot (if anything) about CMake, but it seems instead of manually setting compiler flags, we could instead use the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE option that CMake provides. The above snippet is from: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L54-L57
