It sounds like you need a FILES_${PN} += "/place/of/lib/files" type of
expression to show the system which files to install into the main
package.

I'm guessing but perhaps the libs you generate are xxxx.so files and
this is confusing the system? Usually libs are versioned and the x.so is
placed into the -dev package so you'll have to change the default FILES
variables if you do have something which is unversioned.

More information about the names of the files that aren't getting
matched would make it easier to help you. Did they get installed into
the -dev package?
