[PD-dev] pd externals makefile help for newbie [win32]

[André Schmidt]

hi devs,

i hope i'm not buggin you too much (again:) with my newbish questions, but 
i want to get started with little trouble as possible. so, got MSVC++6 and 
i managed to compile the foos in .../6.externs/ with 'nmake' after i 
changed the right paths in the makefile. and yes, they really worked :). 
this was my first time i compiled c/c++ from the commandline (not including 
my 1 and only time i succesfully compiled pd on linux:) so this makefile 
thing is a quite mystery to me but i assume it has all the settings that an 
IDE would have in it's menus, or similar. ok, for starters i want to 
compile the "hello world" external from 
http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/node3.html but i dont know what i 
should write in the makefile. before i start to TAE with the makefile from 
the foo examples i thought maybe some1 could explain or give a good 
www-link about the makefile...

thnx
