Hi Andre, i've included makefiles for the free compilers cygwin/gcc and Borland C++ 5.5 with my external packages. (see http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/PD/ext) Especially with Borland C++ you should have a look how to do it as the library format is not binary compatible to the one MS uses. There's some loss of speed with these compilers, however.
I did not try to recompile PD with one of these compilers (only adapted the header files m_pd.h and m_imp.h), but i tend to think that there have to be some slight changes to the code for that.
greetings, Thomas

hi devs,
i'm now starting to learn the wonders of c/c++ coding on windows and was wondering what compilers/IDE are you all using. or what compilers you could recommend for a beginner. i would like to avoid using M$-VC or other commercial products...
i found something interesting: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html (i'm more a GUI person:) and downloaded the version 5(beta!) and tried to make the "helloworld" external @ http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/node3.html but i only get errors... so it would be nice if some1 would test/know if this dev-c++ is "usable" for pd/externals (i assume the errors didnt have nothing to do it being beta)
thnx -andre ps. is there a "how to" for compiling pd on windows (using NOT commercial compilers)
