i'm not exactly sure what you mean here.
1st: you do not need a compiled version of Pd in order to produce a double-precision external (at least on macOS and Linux). so what are you waiting for?
I just don't think it makes sense to stop my workflow and concentrate on working on this if most people aren't using it yet, once the binary isn't available. So yeah, I'm waiting for the binary to come up for everyone. But I get your point that "all externals" should be made available. I don't care about "all" and I can deal with my stuff, which I hope to be able to take care of quite quickly once the time is right. Whenever the binary is out there I can provide ELSE and Cyclone in a week or two the latest (I hope).
But I don't really care, if we're organizing a work force to upload "all" externals first, let's do it then, I will follow...
as a developer (of compiled externals) i hope you can be asked to build a Pd. the INSTALL.txt is quite detailed. or put otherwise: should i trust a developer who is not able to build Pd?
I'm able to build Pd alright, but I don't think people should count on that to trust me as a developer :) (I'm always open to say "don't trust me" anyway, haha). But then, my point is, again, most people don't build Pd...
And here's another consideration. Some people (I know it's just a few people) don't use externals and would be happy to try patches and start working on this even though "all" externals aren't out there yet.
