Hi, thanks for the reply. It's good to know that this is the right channel and that you are listening. :)
Unfortunately, I discovered two more libs some other apps I may try to port would rely on: - libsndfile - qt5-qtconnectivity-qtbluetooth Those are the package names and not the actual library names but I hope that's sufficient. Both seem also to be available already for SailfishOS. libsndfile is even already installed on my Jolla by default. I don't want to sound demanding but I am really motivated to push apps to Harbour and those are the libs I would need to link against. Best regards, Ruediger PS: In some cases statically linking or shipping a lib with an app might solve the issue. However, it feels kind of wrong to do this when a lib is available anyhow. And there may be other cases in which you end up in a long dependency chain such that these workarounds are not practical. Furthermore, to me as a developer, adding such workarounds is an additional overhead and takes time I'd prefer to invest somewhere else, like actually improving an app or writing/porting a new one. Please do not mistake me, I don't want to sound rude but just want to explain my situation. PPS: As people start to develop more apps now (hopefully ;)), I assume that even more people will come up with requests for libs to link against. Would it make sense to have a more centralized place to discuss this or to collect requests? I mean to have a place for devs as well as for you to quickly see which libs had already been requested and to possible vote for libs. E.g., would it make sense to use together.jolla.com for this and maybe add a tag like #harbour-lib-request or something?
