thanks ... after changing the library build from SHARED to STATIC and to 
SHARED again, it seems to work ... no idea, why it didn't work before ... :/

on my side ...

The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be
beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you
discover that there is no reason.
