[PD] compiling externals for Pure Data windows

make and cmake do different things and are not mutually exclusive. in fact, people often use cmake to generate makefiles.

again, with msys2 the workflow is roughly the same as in Linux.

some things to watch out:
* you might need to install the compiler toolchains first with "pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain" and "pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain"
* you have to pick the right shell, i.e. "MSYS2 MINGW32 SHELL" for 64-bit binaries and "MSYS2 MINGW64 SHELL" for 64-bit externals
* if the external uses pd-lib-builder, then you might need to set PDBINDIR and PDINCLUDEDIR if Pd has been installed at a non-standard location.
* if the external uses cmake, pick the "Unix Makefile" generator.

Generally, I recommend msys2 (mingw64): https://www.msys2.org/[https://www.msys2.org/] Building externals is almost the same as with GCC on Linux, so you should feel at home.

Hello Folks
 
i have been using pd and compiling source for externals myself for a few years but it was always Linux ans Macintosh but now i have a windows 10 computer and i would like if possible to learn to compile externals for and with windows 64 bit 
 
Needed 64 bit externals:
Freeverb~
Fluidsynth~
Soundhack collection 
Eric Lyon's potpourri
FFtease v3 
Spencer Russells 's Gendy 
 
 
to start with and i NEED these to be cross platform for my world domination plans 
Is there a place i may learn to do this?
Would you share what tools you use if you do compile for win64?
 
All feedback is welcome 
 
Thank you!
