After about a year absence I am trying to get back into PD land. My current setup is a winXP machine, but I had gotten used to being able to make small changes to how things worked in PD under Linux. I would like to be able to do some of the same things under windows, along with starting to contribute again to the PD community.
My day job give me access to VC 7.0 but it appears that no one in PD-Dev land is using this to build PD? All web and list resources seem to point to using MinGW for building. Since this was the most documented route I went this direction.
After following http://puredata.org/docs/developer/mingw
I had a working msys and mingw system. I already had python 2.4 installed, but have no experience with SCons. I think this is where I am failing, as I am quite sure I should be editing some SCons file somewhere to match my system.
I am calling SCons on the pd dir like this:
$ python /mingw/bin/scons install scons: Reading SConscript files ... Checking for sin() in C library m... no can't find Math library
Its dying on line 148 on the pd/src/SConscript.
So what have I borked in my MinGW setup?
Also, if you have gotten this far, Is anyone building PD with VC 7? Not just externals (which I can get to build, with an existing install of PD) but all of PD land? If someone does and is willing would you mind putting your project file into the devel branch in CVS, I am sure a great many folks would appreciate the jumping off point.

well, currently there are two branches of pd ... miller's official branch, that's built with msvc and devel, that's built with scons ...

i haven't tried to compile devel with scons ... carmen adapted the scons file, so that it should work ...
using scons is very easy, since it's a combination of configure and make. run scons -h for available options...
$ python /mingw/bin/scons install scons: Reading SConscript files ... Checking for sin() in C library m... no can't find Math library
Its dying on line 148 on the pd/src/SConscript.
well, i suppose the math library is not in the search paths ... but i'm not really familiar with mingw ....

are msvc project files really portable? i once tried to use thomas grill's msvc project file for devel on my machine ... it would have been easier to recreate the whole project from scratch ... i think it would be way better to try to get scons running on all platforms properly ...
cheers ... tim
