Using the new method does get me through configure, thank you. I followed the online instuctions for vanilla, sorry for not checking the included readme.
Upon the 'make' command, the build process starts, however quite soon exits. First there are a number of invalid conversions, eg. from 'void*' to 'PaWinMmeStreamInfo'. Then make exits with:
make[2]: *** [libportaudio_la-pa_pa_win_wmme.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/Menno/pd-0.43-0/portaudio' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/Menno/
Then after adding the option --disable-portaudio to ./configure and doing 'make clean' and then again make, there are similar errors, now with 'po' and 'g_canvas'. I am not sure if using cygwin would be better than MSYS, because cygwin gives errors before anythings happens, I think it cannot find the compiler. Will later try to build pd-extended to see if that goes more easily.

There are two build systems still in vanilla, the old one in pd/src/configure.in and the new one in pd/configure.ac. Use the new one. And it probably also needs a patch to work on MinGW. That makes me think, I don't know the status of Pd-vanilla building on MinGW, but Pd-extended is built on Pd-extended every night, so that might be a better bet for you.

Hello,
trying to compile pd vanilla 0.43 on Windows 7 "ultimate" 64 bits I am running into some trouble. I followed the developer>mingw guide from puredata.org. Then trying ./configure using MSYS. It gives: no tcl header found, and a few lines later: no tcl library found, then quits. I did however compile both tcl and tk 8.5 using this guide: http://wiki.tcl.tk/14828, inside MSYS. Adding a --with-tcl=/... to ./configure only gives the note: unrecognized option. Any thoughts how I could overcome these difficulties? I am a bit lost here.
Bye! Menno
