then package the needed static library in -dev package. Now its not
recommended practice however sometimes
exceptions are made but I would recommend to check first if its an
oversight/bug in QT5 to not generate a .so
for the given library or it could be a architectural need to have it
static either way some clarification is needed
before this change is made
