Description
The idea is to have new workflows that test our build and install capabilities. A build will be done both statically and dynamically then system tests can be ran that make sure the libraries have been installed properly and in the right place.
Potentially useful link is https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact, a build need only be done once for each linking option then the binaries can be uploaded so that other workflows can use them.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's existing workflows and build and install configuration. Define workflows covering static and dynamic linking, then use the upload-artifact approach so system tests can verify that installed libraries are present in the right location. Done means both linking options are built and the installation checks run successfully.
