i have been caught in this exact scenario recently.<br>and yes, if the library exists in extras or extras-devel then whilst building your application it will find and use them.<br><br>there is a gotcha though:<br><br>if you add NEW calls or references or headers into the library since you last updated, it will FAIL because your app will be trying to load in the older versions.<br>
<br>it was something I encountered and pondered whether we could make the autobuilder "cheat" and look in the "queued for updating to extras-devel" list so that it found the others.<br>but at the end of the day, I just uploaded and got the library through, waited an hour, then sent the app.<br>

But if you have previously uploaded those libraries to extras-devel<br>
then the autobuilder should find them.<br>
