[PD-dev] external on windows

[Dominique Fober]

Thanks, it solves my problem.
Thanks also to Hans-Christoph Steiner who helped with my "GUI external" question.
I have now a 'guido' pd external to display music scores based on the Guido Engine (http://guidolib.sourceforge.net) running on linux, mac os and windows. It works but could become very slow in drawing the music score, depending on the drawing area size and on your platform (windows seems not to be very efficient). 
This is due to the way to give the score image to Tcl/Tk. 

Now I have a 'newbie in externals dev' question: what is the best place to share that with Pd users? I can build binaries for Mac OS and windows but it's a little bit more complex for linux, or is there a main target platform to build binaries for (for example Ubuntu 10.04 32 or 64 bits).

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".
