is it binary compatible with pd compiled with msvc?
no. it only works with mingw builds of pd. loading the library with vc builds works, even creating gem objects is okay. as soons as anything arrives at an inlet, pd crashes.
according to thomas grill, -mno-cygwin should help
well, mingw is not cygwin ... iirc the command line option for mingw is -mms-bitfields
