<div dir="ltr">I forgot to mention that my response was directed more for macOS and possibly Windows where asking people to use a package manager is a bit more of a stretch as opposed to Linux. In general, dependent libs are packaged with the program itself and sometimes dynamic linking can be problematic, ie. on macOS you often have to (re)set the rpath in a built lib. That dance in avoided by simply statically linking at the expense of binary size. I'm not saying it's the best solution, but it may be more maintainable and usable in the case of a dynamically-loaded Pd external.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">OTOH I believe GEM provides dynamic libs along with the externals on macOS but this most probably requires fiddling with the rpath, basically overriding the search path for the lib to it's found in a different, non-system location.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">For Windows, if I recall correctly, you generally just need to place the dlls next to whatever is using them.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">As for mixing static and dynamic linking, I believe that's not a problem as long as the dynamic libs are found.<br>
