Hi there people! New guy here, greetings from Argentina!

I am also very new to Pascal and programming in general, so if you
could please ELI5 this for me:

I'm planning on writing a Pascal wrapper for several libraries on C -
C++. I know they can be compiled together using GCC (http://alignment.
hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Mixing/Mixing_Manual.html), and I also know
FPC can compile for Android.

What I do not know is whether both things can be done at the same
time. Could I write a Pascal + C/C++ application and compile it for
Android, among other targets?

Thank you very much in advance!

So you create a pascal header for a C library, then make the pascal
code a library to use with Android Studio?

Or you will compile your android application with Lazarus?

If is the second, then I think it will be more easy, since you don't
need to compile a .so for Android Studio and debug it, you will debug
it with Lazarus.

"Dll inception", a dll requiring another dll, never did something like
that so I can't say.
