Yessss. Your my man ;)

Well the problem with the two line I found was right.
Most suspected was the first one. Thats solved and works 
now as should do.
In fact when I'm right in this case it is looking for a *.h file
to know the xyz-devel is installed.
Witch one is not important.

Open the line with

I have found other construction but I copied the 'int'
as template. I assume it is -l[name_of_something]
I did guess on xml is OK, it works, but not sure it
is correct.

Any quick reference to what it must be is welcome.
