So there is no way around editing a few makefiles in an editor. The IDE
support in LibreOffice is not meant to edit the build system. It is only
there to make it easier after a full build to edit some of the files and do
a partial rebuild.

If you want to integrate a new library it normally involves: uploading the
source tarball to dev-www.libreoffice.org/src (you need to tell someone who
has access to gimli where to find the source tarball), editing
download.lst, RepositoryExternal.mk, configure.ac one of the config_*.mk.in
files and creating a new directory with content in external/
There are a few additional steps depending on how the external library is
built and used inside of LibreOffice.

I hope that helps a bit.

Now I'm also a bit curios why you need a physics library inside of
LibreOffice.
