Build leads to shared library and standalone

[dvzrv]

Hi! 👋

When building 1.2.3 for Arch Linux I noticed, that the build and install targets lead to the shared library and the standalones to be built and installed.

I get the following files after picking out the plugin related files:

I can of course remove those manually, but they should neither be built nor installed in this project.

Looking at what the created plugins link against, it appears those link against a static version of libsfizz.so.
Is this intended? Can this be changed?

FWIW, I am able to disable build of the standalones with -D SFIZZ_JACK=OFF and -D SFIZZ_RENDER=OFF.
But the shared library is still being built and installed.

when I made the repo split, I haven't taken into account also separated builds of the UI and library, just code separation, so I guess it's basically the same as the previous situation, including the static library.

I think we had some talk about it and both agree that needs to be changed in the Linux context, I see you are making 2 separated PKGBUILDs so I guess I should add some SFIZZ_USE_SYSTEM_SFIZZ 😄 to avoid it to build at all. Wasn't -D SFIZZ_SHARED=OFF of any help? (see CI build file)

Making plugins depending on the shared library is not that simple as I thought so for the time being:

• this patch/commit updates to the latest VSTGUI, it should permit to build also against latest vst3sdk (VST3SDK: update to 3.7.10_build_14 #129)
• I retried to build using -D SFIZZ_SHARED=OFF and the resulting install have only plugins. Will see later if I can disable it and clients by default.
