could someone give me a hint how to compile a single-file c-source external ("externals/vbap/rvbap.c" to be honest) on Debian for Windows? I installed the three mingw32 packages, but I'm not clear how to actually use these to compile rvbap.dll
Maybe someone has a Makefile-snippet somewhere and could post it.
Hm, I got a bit further along with this by using the Makefile from Guenther's build system (which looks a bit easier to exploit than the huge extended Makefiles for now).
Now I get this:

Oops, do I read this correctly, that on Windows (or *for* Windows) I need to have some kind of pd.dll to compile an external? And that means, I need to cross-compile Pd first?
(I thought libc was included by default with gcc, you didn't need -lc). You need pd.lib, which is in pd/bin. If you just take Miller's pd for Windows it will be inside. The thing I'm still not clear on is if you can use that pd.lib, which was compiled with MSVC, with MinGW... I still haven't got MinGW set up to compile pd. It was a lot easier to set up MSVC, but I'm not cross-compiling.
Now this sounds like a much bigger task. My first try failed at m_sched.c, which is not finding pthread.h
I configured Pd with "./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i586-mingw32msvc".
As the clock is ticking for me, I would be really thankful if someone with a working Windows-compilation-setup could compile rvbap.dll for me. I would offer a really big beer for this, if I can get a hold of rvbap.dll before tomorrow, tuesday, 15:00 GMT+1. ;)
I could do it for you with MSVC, but as I said, I don't know if it will work.
