Hi devlist,
I've been playing around with a signal external, trying to compile under windows XP with MSVC6 (Oh, how I love unix...) and with various combinations of the #ifdef defines at the top of the .c file I get:
Syntax error : missing ';' before 'type' and undeclared identifiers if the final #endif is after the #else statement,
Unexpected end of file found if there is no final #endif (as you'd expect),
Mismatched #if/#endif pair if the #endif is at the end of the file.
All other configurations (leaving out the #ifdef NT block, also changing _MSC_VER to NT) result in the syntax error error.
Now, I know I'm being lazy, not finding out what the blocks of code do. Could anyone be bothered to explain this to me? If I understood what these are doing then I might be able to troubleshoot more efficiently than hit-and miss. And...is anyone out there still compiling externs with MSVC??? Hans???
Best, Ed

Hallo!
only a quick look at your code, but:
#ifdef NT #include <windows.h> #include <commctrl.h> #else -> this should be an endif I guess, otherwise the code below won't be compiled:
static t_class *framescore_tilde_class;
typedef struct _framescore_tilde { t_object x_obj; t_float f; t_float fmax, fwin, faccum; t_outlet *fscore; } t_framescore_tilde;
[...]
#endif

#ifdef NT #include #include #else -> this should be an endif I guess, otherwise the code below won't be compiled: If I do this, I get back to Syntax error : missing ';' before 'type' error.

well, then you also have an other mistake ... but if you use here #else your code won't be compiled (see preprocessor output)

Looks like you have three #ifdef but only two #endif.

When I have the #endif after the #else, replace the #else with an #endif or when I get rid of the second #ifdef/#endif block I get the same error, but I noticed something today I wasn't paying attention to before. I think I read somewhere on the list about _tilde_setup names causing problems for MSVC, but here I get an illegal type 'void' when declaring extern void framescore_tilde_setup
Since this is the first error I get I assume it to be the important one! The other errors are likely to be gibberish...enclosed is the compiler output. Best, Ed

You might need to add the __dllexport business. Or use MinGW.
