[PD] newbie learning how to 'make'

[Martin Peach]

That's a very good tutorial but it's still missing the part "How to Build an
External". Most people seem to grab a makefile from some other external and
morph it until it works for theirs. In your case you wiill need to remove
every instance of "../src/", since your source code is in the same directory
as the makefile ( or else make a directory named "src", put your source
files in it, make another directory with any legal name at the same level as
src, and put the makefile in that.). You may also need to modify the
INCLUDES line to include the path to m_pd.h and whatever it refers to.
