I may be misunderstanding how this distribution is supposed to function,

but I have not been able to find a flext.dsp in the newest pd/windows distribution. I did find it by going back through the history, it seems to have disappeared circa 0.4.1. Maybe this is intentional... or it is assumed that one would have older installations previously installed...

Can you explain?

Hi Christian, this is intentional. First of all, i'm no longer using and maintaining .dsp files since i changed to VC.NET, which has .vcproj files. Second, the Visual Studio project files cannot easily be configured, since the necessary switches are hidden in many property sheets.

Therefore, the preferred method is to use the provided make system. For Windows (and VC++) edit config-pd-msvc.txt to match your setup, and then, from the command prompt of the VC system, run build-pd-msvc.bat. For other platforms and/or compilers similar files are to be used.

best greetings, Thomas
