# Sorry, I used to use my bands google groups mail-list and there when I

did'nt realized that I was not sending to the list. Next time I'll pay
attention to whom I sent and select reply-all.

ok, unfortunately your make excerpt didn't tell me enough, since you

miller's pd is compiled with M$VC-6 (i think), you have to tell gcc that

# I select clean in the project menu. This time there is a new line in the
make excerpt.

Creating one, but that may not be what you want

Execution terminated
Compilation successful

# I think after adding -mms-bitfields flag to the compile command the
strange error dissappeared! I saved, moved, created the [additive~] object
many times, and it works as it supposed to be!
# Thank you very much!
# What means this -mms-bitfields flag? I looked at the gcc's manual but it
isn't in the list there.
