Hi-
The Io addons are the Io interfaces to C libs, and nothing more.
Io doesn't do any advanced package/dependency management, so you have
to make sure that if you need a certain addon you have the lib itself
installed, as well as all the dependencies of that lib.
Generally this is handled through your OS's package manager.
I agree that the build process is totally non-intuitive and could be
improved, but keep in mind that it's bleeding-edge stuff, so things
like this tend to happen.
Glad you got it working- now have fun!
