STATIC_BUILD=NO howto ?

Hej Experts,


I am trying to build an IOC which needs a vendor library.
I only got the shared version, lets call it libVendor.so


Trying to convince the EPICS make system to ignore the static
build did not work very well:


make[3]: *** No rule to make target 
'../../../lib/freebsd-x86_64/libVendor.a', needed by 
'libethercatmcSupport.a'. Stop




This is what I tried:
grep STATIC configure/*
configure/CONFIG_SITE:STATIC_BUILD=NO


grep SHARED_LIBRARIES configure/*
configure/CONFIG_SITE:SHARED_LIBRARIES=YES
configure/CONFIG_SITE:SHARED_LIBRARIES=YES
configure/RELEASE:SHARED_LIBRARIES=YES


(and even adding these 2 lines to
epics/base/configure/CONFIG_SITE
does not help)


Digging into tech-talk posts and the documentation didn't show
much information (most people asked for static build)


Are there any hints ?
Thanks
