Link to PCL (Portable Class Library) from the Xamarin Mono project for Android

Question

I am using Mono for Android to create an Android application.

I would like to reference another library that I wrote in this project (compiled as a portable class library).

Whenever I try to do this, I get an error: "The current project does not support links to Portable Library projects."

Is there any way to overcome this?

Linking to the result of a compiled project works very well.

Reject this post from Stuart Lodge on using PCL across platforms, including Mono for Android. It performs the various steps you need to take to get it working properly, as well as the many challenges you might encounter along the way.
