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:

$ CC=i586-mingw32msvc-cc make -f Makefile.mingw rvbap.dll i586-mingw32msvc-cc -mms-bitfields -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused -Wno-parentheses -Wno-switch -O3 -march=i686 -mfpmath=sse -msse -DPD -DNT -D'drand48()=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)' -D'srand48(n)=srand((n))' -D'O_NONBLOCK=1' -I. -I.. -I../../pd/src -IC:/msys/1.0/include \ -o "rvbap.o" -c "rvbap.c" i586-mingw32msvc-cc -shared -LC:/msys/1.0/lib -L../../pd/bin -lpd -o "rvbap.dll" "rvbap.o" \ `test -f rvbap.libs && cat rvbap.libs` \ `test -f rvbap.libs && cat rvbap.libs` /usr/lib/gcc/i586-mingw32msvc/3.4.5/../../../../i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lpd collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [rvbap.dll] Error 1

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.

Hm, sorry for talking to myself, but it seems I could use a pre-compiled binary from Miller's site (I would have preferred a to use a current pd-extended compiled with GCC, but I couldn't find a zip-file. Are there only installers?)

Anyways with pointing gcc to the pd.dll inside of that, rvbap.dll finally built and I could even load it running pd.exe with Wine.

Seems I'll drink the beer on my own. ;)

Hi Frank, I was just following your monologue there and wondering, what is rvbap ?

yes and no. you do need to link against pd.lib you don't need to crosscompile. just get a binary-version for w32 of pd (i usually use miller's pd) and add the path to the pd.lib to your linker-flags: "-L/tmp/w32/pd/bin"

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

iemmatrix comes with explanations on how to cross-compile it on debian for w32.

forget everything i wrote above. and wait a minute :-)

vbap is already compiled on Windows using externals/Makefile, so you don't need to rewrite or change anything. If you need to change CFLAGS, then you can do that like this:

cd pure-data/externals make CFLAGS="-whatever -something else" vbap

Note that I was trying to build a *Windows* binary on *Linux*, as I don't have Windows.

I had already tried:

$ cd pure-data/externals $ CC=i586-mingw32msvc-cc make vbap

but this tries to build the linux version with the cross-compiler for Windows, which of course isn't what I want. Explicitely specifying what to build doesn't seem to work either:

$ CC=i586-mingw32msvc-cc make vbap/rvbap.dll make: *** No rule to make target `vbap/rvbap.dll'. Stop.

Is there a way to set the target/host system with some CFLAGS using the extended-Makefile?

All of the platform-specific settings are determined by the varible $ (OS_NAME). Normally it is set in packages/Makefile.buildlayout using the result of uname. I think this should work then:

make CC=i586-mingw32msvc-cc OS_NAME=windows vbap

But you'd be the first to try, so there might be bugs.
