I still wonder if there's an easy way to just incorporate all of these libs inside the external binary.
Do you mean static linking?

guess so :) 
 
Depends on the dependencies. Some are available as a static library and others are not.

I see, how can we know and how about these from fluidsynth? 

Personally, I strongly prefer static linking for plugins (like Pd externals).

seems best for me too!
 

The downside is that you're responsible for providing the correct linker flags, since a static library is just an archive of object files. For complex dependencies, you're better off with linking dynamically and shipping them along side your library.

I guess I may have come across a complex system with over a dozen libs :/ so if I get things straight, we're better off just keeping it that way?
