Can we compile an external library and load it in MobMuPlat? #85

I have externals that compile just fine with libpd and I wonder if I can use them!

On Android, the app uses https://github.com/libpd/pd-for-android, and uses a prebuild binary fetched from a repo. This means libpd (and any desired externals) are not built from local source. You would have to modify the code base to build the pd-for-android layer locally (and trigger a rebuild of libpd and pure-data with your externals). At that point it should work, but this is untested. I believe some people have gotten abl_link~ to work this way.
