hi !
unfortunately i have no idea how to handle gcc under win2k.
anyhow, you have to export the helloworld_setup() symbol to make it work.

however, i see the need to add a chapter to the HOWTO, where compailing
issues are handled.

in the meantime i can only advise you to check the makefiles that come
with pd (there are makefiles for various platforms in the pd/extra/*/
directories) and create your own.
i hope you will get it running soon. i would be glad if you could inform
me on any proceedings you make, so i can include them in the
compilation-howto.

all the luck
