Hi folks, Are there any instructions anywhere on how to set up a development environment for PD. I wish to development externals. Should I need to compile the full PD project or should I merely link to the pre existing libs/dll's. I don't have that much experience digging through makefiles hence I don't want to spend my weekend at that ;) I was hoping to develop using visual studio.net. Any instructions would be most welcome.
Briefly, you create an empty project to build a console app without any precompiled header, then you set it to make a dll. You need to include m_pd.h from the pd source and you link against pd.lib which is in pd/bin. Your setup function has to be declared __declspec(dllexport). http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/ explains most of the rest.
