[PD-dev] Compiling Pd-vanilla and externals on Windows 8.1

[Fred Jan Kraan]

Hi All,

Today I managed to build Pd-vanilla and some Pd-extended externals on 
Windows 8.1. This is the scenario:

- Have MinGW installed; Basic Setup: mingw-developer-toolkit, 
mingw32-base, mingw32-gcc-g++ , msys-base (Class bin) and MinGW 
Libraries: mingw32-pthread-w32, (Class dev),
- Unpack the pd-0.46.6.tar.gz (path without spaces),
- Rename the directory to pd (this is in the README.txt, but easy to 
miss. The makefile.mingw depends on it),
- Expand the contents of asiosdk2.3.zip in a directory pd/lib (result is 
a pd/lib/ASIOSDK2.3/ path. The pd/asio/ directory is no longer used).

This will build pd-vanilla and all externals which do not depend on 
extra libraries.
