When I built flext and did the #include <flext.h> I had to change one of

the

flext libraries - the one that included the relevant PD library said #include <m_pd.h>, but I had to change it to #include "m_pd.h" (couldn't find the PD library otherwise). Is this OK to do - will my object still work?

Yes, that's no problem. The difference between < > and " " is just the way how paths are defined.

Also, when I try to load in a flext based dll file (using

...\pd\bin\pd -lib

externalname.lib), after trying to create the object in the PD window the console keeps looking for the setup function in the code, which is of

course

not there. Am I missing something? Everything else seems to go OK...

In a flext based external, the setup function is defined implicitly. What does the error printout say?
