hello there..
i tried to make the helloworld external described in j.m.zmoelnigs "howto write an external for pd".
great!
i used visual studio .net 2003 to build the dll, and had no errors with it.
then i tried using the external, and this did not work. the dll resides in the same directory as the pd file which should use the helloworld object.
i get this error from the pd main window:
load_object: Symbol "helloworld_setup" not found helloworld ... couldn't create
what a possible mistakes i could have made?
most likely you haven't read the archives...

you must declare a function to be exported, in order to make pd see it; in this case this would be "helloworld_setup"
