FWIW: on iOS everything needs to be linked statically, and I ended up
linking all the ECL "contrib" libs (*.a) manually, see this line:
https://gitlab.com/eql/eql5-ios/-/blob/master/examples/REPL/repl.pro#L7

And don't forget to initialize every manually linked lib at program
startup, like so:
https://gitlab.com/eql/eql5-ios/-/blob/master/examples/REPL/build/main.cpp#L60

This approach should also work in your case (and is necessary because
the "contrib" libs are not integrated automatically).
