[PD] compiling maxlib, virtools - pd

[Christina Leitner]

Hello,

I'm working for a project called virtual instrument of music.
For the application we use the programmes Virtools and pd and a third one 
for the communication between them.

The system works well, but for several reasons it might be good to establish 
a direct connection between Virtools and pd.

For it is not possible with [netreceive] I searched for other possibilities 
and found [netserver] and [netclient] from maxlib.
I'm a beginner on pd, and I have great difficulties in compiling the source 
code from maxlib, so here is my question if anyone has useful tips 
concerning the makfile? I know that I have to change it but it's the first 
time so I don't really know what to do ...
Or even better has anyone the already working *.dll?

Has anyone tried to solve a similar problem of connecting two programmes?
In Virtools there is a so called building block that allows to send web 
messages via the post method - to send a new message the connection has to 
be closed, but the problem was that [netreceive] couldn't do this.


(By the way I'm using windows XP, pd version is 0.39-0, for compiling I have 
the cygwin
compiler.)


Thanks for any help,
best regards,
Christina Leitner
