[PD] windows compile failing - second try

[Damian Stewart]

so i tried to compile pd under windows, again.

i've followed the instructions at www.puredata.info/docs/developer/mingw 
letter-for-letter on a new pc (my work machine running winxp).

applying the patches under 'packages' in cvs, i get a number of 
"reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!" the default response 
for this error is to skip, so i skipped. this happens on s_main.c, 
makefile.in, and m_class.c. also on one patch, it can't find the target 
file (d_mayer_fft.c). many other patches give 'hunk failed' messages, 
including s_loader.

compiling the patched version anyway gives

 > s_loader.c:252: error: conflicting types for sys_load_lib

looking at the source file, it looks like a bad merge (which i kind of 
expected), so deleting the second (simpler, only one line) sys_load_lib 
function allows it to compile.

the error now becomes
 > no rule to make target d_mayer_fft.c

which would lead me to believe someone has forgot to add d_mayer_fft.c 
to cvs.

any help?
