some of the others are going to be a bit challenging to get going under windows.
A couple of questions:
- why are there c files in the externals/build/win directory but not in
the
the other externals/build/platform directory?
I hope you used the ones in externals/build/src ..
I've just committed a new makefile which works in a similar way to the linux make system... and generates local copies of the externals/build/src "link" files.
- many externals seem to have setup functions that don't match their
filenames... particularly the ext13 tilde externals. (e.g. send13~) why
is
this? how does PD correctly load the setup function?
This should be changed in the externals. For the time being I have wrapped this (see externals/build/src/send13~.c)
I've added a few more setup redirections for externals in externals/build/src
I think for the future we should come up with some guidelines how to write externals, so that they fit into this framework.
Yup. I'll post a list of things I've had to fix in externals to get
them to
build with the hope that people can write new code with these things in mind.
Yes, good, we have to put thes things on the web page too ...
I'll post these in a separate message.
Has anyone managed to compile PD itself with mingw?
Yes, I have compiled it, but it does not run :( No time to go on with that currently...
Ahhh. Okay. I don't have a lot of time to lavish on this stuff, but it would certainly be great to have a build environment for windows that is both free/open and similar to the unix build environments of the other platforms.
