It (should) build already on all platform - but it doesn't find the 
library ...

Hm ... can't this be made easier ?
E.g. if I link the externals to the shared library with the hardcoded 
path it works - but I cant' do that of course and so the externals can't 
finde the library.

So is there a way how the externals can find the shared library, 
whithout copying it into a global library path like /usr/lib/ ?

Thanks,
