Compilation instructions do not work on Debian 12.0 (linking error with -llib) #107

I tried to follow the instructions and to compile the application (version 3.1.25, 0dd58da) on a freshly installed Debian 12.0 amd64 system. After compiling the individual files, I was stuck at an error message regarding linking against the -llib library:

...
compiling ../build/release/MOCFiles/moc_yubikeylogger.cpp
moc yubikeyfinder.h
compiling ../build/release/MOCFiles/moc_yubikeyfinder.cpp
moc yubikeyconfig.h
compiling ../build/release/MOCFiles/moc_yubikeyconfig.cpp
linking ../build/release/yubikey-personalization-gui
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llib: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:290: ../build/release/yubikey-personalization-gui] Error 1

This can be fixed by first heading into the lib directory and compiling this auxiliary library first, then resuming with the compilation of the tool itself:

This should be reflected in the build instructions (unless I am overlooking something) Thanks!
