I assume this layout:

http://puredata.org/docs/developer/devlayout

There are lots of other useful docs here:

http://puredata.org/docs/developer

The Pd-extended build system relies on packages/Makefile.buildlayout,  
so hid does too.

I haven't updated the docs since moving the build system into the Pd- 
extended.  The hid-specific makefile should probably be removed since  
I use externals/Makefile now.

What platform? Which kernel? Which devices?  Which version of [hid]?
