then look out for configure.in.
else, you obviously cannot use the autotools.

what does this question mean ?
in which respect is the compilation process into pd_darwin different
from the one i use to build dll's ???

what is wrong with the autoconf-build in iemmatrix ? i use it for
compiling binaries for w32, linux and osX and it works fine.
i use autoconf for compiling both zexy and Gem under osX and linux too.
as for not knowing how to build a special external, i would strongly
suggest reading files like README.txt, README.build, INSTALL.txt and so on.
most of the times, you can find a lot of valuable information in there.
