You could use the Pd-extended build stuff, then only have to maintain one target for all platforms (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows) and you get automatic inclusion into Pd-extended, nightly builds on all these platforms, as well as automatic handling of global CPU optimization flags.

Here's a bit for building [hid] from externals/Makefile with some stuff stripped out that's not relevant to what you describe.

------------- HID_SRC = input_arrays.c hid_$(OS_NAME).c hid.c HID_OBJECTS := $(patsubst %.c, $(externals_src)/hcs/hid/%.o, $(HID_SRC)) $(HID_OBJECTS) : %.o : %.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o "$*.o" -c "$*.c"

$(externals_src)/hcs/hid/hid.$(EXTENSION): $(HID_OBJECTS) $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(externals_src)/hcs/hid/hid.$(EXTENSION) $ (HID_OBJECTS) $(STRIP) $(externals_src)/hcs/hid/hid.$(EXTENSION) --------------

The sources are all in $(externals_src)/hcs/hid. The resulting file is: $(externals_src)/hcs/hid/hid.$(EXTENSION)

This would make the most sense if you put your code into the Pd CVS layout (or even checked it into the Pd CVS). Like make a folder in pure-data/externals, put your code there, then make a target in pure- data/externals/Makefile using the template that's in there.

Greetings,

I need some advice for how to modify the Pd Makefile for when I need to compile more than one code file into an external, yet do not wish to create a separate library. Say I have a main file for the external, "tightdsp~.c" another file containing support functions, " dsphelper1.c" and a third file with even more functions, "dsphelper2.c". How would I modify the following Makefile so that it would compile the code together, just as if I had copied the contents of the two helper files into the main code file?

TIA, Eric ===
