Hi, i found a few problematic things in your source code:

1) If you implement a FLEXT_TILDE_* object, it has to be a tilde object,
hence you should use
FLEXT_TILDE_1ARG("mydsp~", mydsp, float)
because pd won't find the setup routine otherwise

2) Your class constructors and destructors are defined but not implemented.
This is likely the reason for pd complaining.
Therefore (if your constructor and destructor do nothing) you should either
omit them (and use FLEXT_TILDE_NEW without a creation argument) or
implement them, by stating
        mydsp(float notused=0) {}
        ~mydsp() {}
at least.



The complaint about the static variable flext_obj::m_name is not clear to
me, though.
