[PD] - need some assistance compiling an external for Windows

[Scott R. Looney]

well it seems like the PDLIBDIR variable is properly set - at least running
'make allvars' indicates the path is changed. but it still acts for all the
world like it can't find or access any source code files to compile. i'm
getting no help as to the specific error involved. i wish i had a way i
could find out more information, but i'm still stuck.

best,
scott
