After creating your project, you need to create two new targets, one for 
the shared library and another one for the static library. In 
Project->New Target.

Then, you need to add source files to this target like in the already 
existing target.


> The documentation mentions the creation of project templates

Creating a new project templates is not needed to build a library. A 
project template allows you to create a complete new project with lots 
of predefined values. You can eventually, create a new C++ library 
template starting from the already existing C library templates but you 
need to learn a bit of autotools to do that.

$install_dir corresponds typically to /usr/ so it's /usr/share/anjuta
/templates, but you can but them in a local directory as explained here.

Anjuta comes with already several templates in /usr/share/anjuta/templates.

The file format is described in Anjuta developper documentation, 
accessible with devhelp. You could have to install development package 
on your system.
