This is IMHO using the wrong variable! This variable tells that I want to build MY libs as static, not that I want to link 3rdParty libs statically!<br>
At least this is surprising behavior.<br>
<br>
OTOH and luckily, there are still the real targets to choose from.<br>
<br>

<br>
Others also doing this wrong does not make it any better.<br>
