Hi, 

I have  this problem since 6.4.
If you have a dynamic library xxx.so, you get a dependency to xxx.a file.
This is a problem of the current qnx make tree.
If you make your project with eclipse, you get a ".qnx_internal.mk" included by common.mk, which solves the problem.
A not very nice workaround is to generate a dummy "xxx.a"  in the library install path.
If you have installed both, "xxx.a" and "xxx.so", your build is also working.
But the make run uses the dependency for xxx.a to link against xxx.so.

Perhaps one of the gnu make Guru's can fix this pronblem. I am wondering why this hidden strange file ".qnx_install" is 
used with eclipse.

Regards 
Michael
