[PD-dev] Externals with interdependancies

[Mike McGonagle]

Thanks, Hans, I guess I misunderstood you when you said that the
externals should be in a separate file, I took it to mean that they
should have their own 'external binary', rather than their own source
files.

I changed the makefile so that everything now compiles into a single
external library. BUT, now when I try to run any of the database stuff
I already know that works with the older version, I am getting

consistency check failed: atom_string

for ever atom that gets returned from the database object. I tried to
look into the Pd source, but it isn't very obvious what is possibly
causing this.

Is there some documentation on a "consistency check" error?
