Hey all,
Does anyone have a good makefile for flext externals that works on all platforms? (especially osx)
I'm looking to release my particle swarm optimizer soon.
Thanks!

autoconf-style ./configure, makefile.in already works for Linux, MacOS X, and more (see pd/src/, externals/ggee, externals/ext13, etc.) and it should work on Cygwin as well. But it seems no one has done much with pd on cygwin, so this idea remains to be tested. But I think it would pay off in a number of ways: you wouldn't need an expensive proprietary compiler to compile pd/etc.; one makefile/config system would work on all platforms; the cygwin installer would install and keep up-to-date many of the libs. The only disadvantages that I can think of is that might not work with commercial compilers like Visual Studio, and you would need the cygwin DLL to run pd on Windows.
Other than that, it seems people either have separate makefiles or separate sections in the Makefile, in order for it to work on Windows.

According to this old posting on the PD list, it is possible to compile an external with Cygwin, that doesn't require the Cygwin DLL to run: http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list//2001-03//0079.html It was for PD 0.29, so I wonder if it would work with the latest PD.
