installing externals with shared dynamic libraries

[porres]

Hi, we're working on a fluidsynth~ external that loads fluidsynth (https://www.fluidsynth.org/) and it needs many dependencies (fluidsynth itself, plus others that it uses). We're offering these dependencies alongside the external binary (in the same folder) for it to load in Vanilla.

How would one go about generating a camomile version that loads this external? Is it possible at all?

cheers

Hi,
It would simplify the distribution to link the plugin with static libraries if you can do it and if there is no restriction. But if you use dynamic libraries, it should work like any other program, using relative paths and/or the default system library folder.
