[PD-dev] pd-double: how to selectively build external libs for development?

[katja]

Today I wanted to find out what cyclone needs to be made
double-precision-ready. To start with, I tried to just build the
current code together with the pd-double core. I followed the howto on
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/WorkingWithPdExtendedSources to
get the sources complete, with the difference that core code is in
pd-double.git instead of pd-extended.git. For developing I wanted to
use 'Selective Approach' as discussed on mentioned page. In my
pd-double/extra/ I created a symbolic link to my
pd-svn/externals/miXed/cyclone.

Then the howto says: 'Build everything inside pd-extended.git'. I did that with:

    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure --enable-double-precision
    sudo make install

A double precision pd is built as usual, but not with cyclone
included. Funny enough, cyclone showed up as an (empty) entry amidst
the extra's in the help browser, when I loaded the freshly built pd
for the first time. But the second time that was gone.

What should I do to include cyclone in the build process?
