[PD] [ANNOUNCE] turn the knobs, fix the bugs

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi Frank,

trying to build pd after patching it yields:

m_conf.o: In function `conf_init':
m_conf.o(.text+0x36): undefined reference to `g_knob_setup'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [../bin/pd] Error 1

What's wrong?

Yours,
Orm
