Hi!

I've decided to develop some things in PD. Unfortunately I only will be able to use linux in a couple of weeks, thus I have to work on windows platform. I had no problems on installing PD for windows, but I still haven't succeeded on building my own externals.

I've tried even Dev-Cpp and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. I followed the make file steps for NT, but I found out that i just don't have any "pd.lib" file, so the linking doesn't found PD functions, giving errors like: "pique error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _class_new referenced in function _pique_setup"... I have not been successful on compiling PD itself with Visual Studio either.

What I want to know is: what do I need to compile it using visual studio (or Dev-C++)?!? where could I find a precompiled "pd.lib" file?!? Does any one has any Visual Studio .NET 2003 project ready for this task?!?

Thanks

hello, cygwin or mingw are more recommended for compiling pd libraries under winslows

patco

or try flext. that's the only way i had success compiling externals with ms visual c++.

thnks megale.... so I'll try a little more with Dev-C++ (it's bundled with mingwin and cygwin)...

but still, I need pd.lib, which I don't have.... i'll try to compile pd here...

I have tried to avoid flext, thats because I'm already familiar with Pd's terminologies and semantics... but if I do not succeed on linux also I'll have to go for it...
