Sigh. How do I intentionally get a static library compiled in ? It’s a keyword variable?
It does ‘just work now’. I have a running example (which will crash !) that uses the library I’m just not sure if it isn’t already static AND copied into /usr/share/${name}/lib 
UPDATE: Actually, it works. It crashed when started from the sdk with qml debugging. Starting from the deice, the sound generation startup works on start and then the normal app->exec() main takes over. Yipee.
UPDATE2: Well, it is static in the binary. The rpm validator tells me it fails to link So I’m half way there although for this example, static is just fine.
