Hey,<br><br>I'm trying not to get frustrated, seeing how posts like this one (on compiling externals for Windows) are either ignored or answered way too cryptically:<br><br><a href="http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-06/051182.html">
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-06/051182.html</a><br><br>I posted a similar question to the "PURE DATA forum~" a few days ago, and so far it too has gone unanswered:<br><br><a href="http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-1029-problem-compiling-external-windows">
http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-1029-problem-compiling-external-windows</a><br><br>Is compiling an external for Windows so mysterious that no one knows how to do it? The responses that I've seen so far usually amount to "well this is how it's done on linux, try changing this to that and maybe it'll work". The famous external tutorial (
<a href="http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/">http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/</a> ) looks very interesting, but it does me no good without knowing how to get from .c to .pd ...<br><br>The request is simple: List the steps required (without skipping any!) to take the C source file "
helloworld.c" and make it into a usable object in pd.<br><br>Someone, please, help me out. Also feel free to tackle the other specific questions in my forum~ post. I'm sure there are plenty of other confused Windows programmers out there.
<br><br>Thanks.<br><br><br>
