Vladimir,

I've tried to reproduce the problem in the attached example but wasn't
able to. But I did find a way to make it work in my real project. The
analogous "constants" library was a header-only library, defined by an
alias as documented in the manual. However, if I change it to "lib"
instead of "alias" then everything works as expected.

(Of course, the attached project doesn't build without the bind
STYLESHEET fix.)

Thanks for your help,

Eric
