hullo list, Ive just decided to start on externals programing, and came upon my first stumble, pd cant find the (extern)_setup method. I tried to find a solution in the mailing list, coming up to no_export clues. I dont know if its relevant or at all has been solved(compiling with msdev) but i just wanna share my 1 hour frustration(more has yet to come) and joy. It bore down to the fact that the linker doesnt export the function under a default dll project, nor could i find an easy setting in msdev to export that function. I found it easiest thus, i. start an empty win32 project ii. write your code (mine was just in one cpp) iii-a. under the property pages, go to Linker, go to Command line, then in the text box, Additional Options type /EXPORT:[extern]_setup iii-b. declare export dll with a microsoft specific modifier, __declspec, your setup function would look like this __declspec(dllexport) void foo_setup(void){}
at first i thought i would be able to achieve this same thing only with extern (yes, too long no programming) or set the []_setup as the dll entry point, but didnt happen. I think iii-b, shouldnt be used because its not crosscompilable. Hey, any malaysian or aSean pd'ers | extern progammers out there? its lonely here! ; ]
I don't know much about Windows programming, but you can find a working example of building externals on Windows in the CVS. If you "cvs co externals", you'll find it under externals/build/win, or in a number of other directories.
There have also been threads about using VS7.net on this list before, check the archives.
