[PD] getting an external to work!!!!

[Bryan Jurish]

morning,

  you need to link the object file(s) into a shared library;
by default, it seems that pd/linux looks for externals with the
suffix '.pd_linux' -- the flags i use for gcc are something
like:

  -shared -export_dynamic

... or alternately

  -shared -rdynamic

... perhaps these are equivalent?  so:

 bash$ gcc -Wall -o myextern.pd_linux myextern.o

ought to do it for a single-file external.
