[PD-dev] external on windows

[Dominique Fober]

Hi,

I'm developing a GUI external that compiles on linux, mac os x... but not yet on windows.
I've tried to use the Visual C++ tools : due to the missing pd.lib file, the dll generation is forced at link time using the /FORCE:UNRESOLVED flag. My problem is that when I try to use this external, I get a missing MSVCRT80.dll error, and when I put this dll with my external, then I get the following error message "An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime incorrectly".
Note that since I'm not fond  of the MS tools, I've first tried to use gcc (via MingW) to compile. However, then the trouble is with gdiplus since it isn't included in the mingw distribution (missing gdiplus.h and gdiplus.lib).
Does anybody know how to (quickly) solve this problem.
