[openbeos] Re: jam issues

Hi Gabe,

I would need to look at your situation in context, if you haven't resolved
this issue yet.  But it's often sufficient to put your library into the rule
for building your executable like this example:

Addon nv.accelerant : accelerants :
        Acceleration.c
        <some sources snipped>
        SetDisplayMode.c
        : false : libnvidia_engine.a
;

Put it at the back where you would put shared libraries.  This will
invoke the same processing as the link shared os library rule, which
Axel mentioned earlier and it will probably also work as well.
