Hm, I got a bit further along with this by using the Makefile from
Guenther's build system (which looks a bit easier to exploit than the
huge extended Makefiles for now).

Now I get this:

$ CC=i586-mingw32msvc-cc make -f Makefile.mingw rvbap.dll 
i586-mingw32msvc-cc -mms-bitfields -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused -Wno-parentheses -Wno-switch -O3 -march=i686 -mfpmath=sse -msse -DPD -DNT -D'drand48()=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)' -D'srand48(n)=srand((n))' -D'O_NONBLOCK=1'  -I. -I.. -I../../pd/src -IC:/msys/1.0/include \
 -o "rvbap.o" -c "rvbap.c"
i586-mingw32msvc-cc -shared -LC:/msys/1.0/lib -L../../pd/bin -lpd -o "rvbap.dll" "rvbap.o" \
        `test -f rvbap.libs && cat rvbap.libs` \
        `test -f rvbap.libs && cat rvbap.libs` 
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-mingw32msvc/3.4.5/../../../../i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lpd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [rvbap.dll] Error 1


Oops, do I read this correctly, that on Windows (or *for* Windows) I need to
have some kind of pd.dll to compile an external? And that means, I need to
cross-compile Pd first? 

Now this sounds like a much bigger task. My first try failed at m_sched.c,
which is not finding pthread.h

I configured Pd with "./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i586-mingw32msvc".

As the clock is ticking for me, I would be really thankful if someone with a
working Windows-compilation-setup could compile rvbap.dll for me. I would offer
a really big beer for this, if I can get a hold of rvbap.dll before tomorrow,
tuesday, 15:00 GMT+1. ;)

Ciao
