I think it's because you need to define MSW in the preprocessor defines 
section so that "EXPORT" in m_pd.h is replaced by 
"__declspec(dllimport)". Otherwise it's just "extern" and the linker 
can't find it.
Another way to avoid that error is to replace any ocurrence of &s_float 
with gensym("float") but then you'll probably run into more trouble down 
the line.
