Building and using library versions higher than current SFOS

Applications C++

I’m curious how do I install a higher version of a library than conflicts with current OS version?
Device X10 III
SailfishOS 5.0.0.72
Problem: Onedrive currently not syncing - 3.4.0 Manual Backup to OneDrive - #43 by patoll

I am wanting to build - buteo-sync-plugins-social which has a requirement for mlite-qt5-0.5.0 due to this change Introduce MDConfItem to replace MGConfItem by pvuorela · Pull Request #10 · sailfishos/mlite · GitHub.

Now I have built mlite-qt5-0.5.0 via sfdk but I am unsure how to install to my target SailfishOS-5.0.0.62-aarch64 to allow building buteo-sync-plugins-social.

Thanks - still learning my way around building and using SDK.

There are several ways to accomplish that. I suggest you read the “Working On Multiple Packages” chapter of sfdk --help-building in order to learn how to use shared output directories.
