- I recommend that you make a personal folder in CVS
externals/. In there you can make separate libraries my directory. For example, I have externals/hcs, and in that externals/hcs/hid, or externals/ggee/gui for example.
- for Makefile, check out externals/Makefile. You
can follow cxc:, cxc_install: or smlib:, smlib_install: for an example. It should be pretty straightforward.
externals/ekext is my directory. I have on several occaisions cvs-ed voicing_detector~ and zeroxpos~, but they do not appear to have worked, despite the cvs reporting back that no conflicts were found? Last time I cvs-ed them was yesterday...
Best, Ed

myobject-help.pd should be used. It allows an alphabetic listing which n turn allows to use keyboard shortcuts in the tk-filechooser.

yes, the externals-howto definitely needs some re-polishing.
right, but is the default name help-myobject.pd or simply myobject.pd?
the "default" is "myobject-help.pd", "help-myobject.pd" and "myobject.pd" (in this order). (note that "myobject" is the part that can be set via the class_sethelpsymbol()! not "myobject-help")
there is not a single pure and true "default". by most people, appending "-help" is considered best for single externals where the help-patches live next to the object-file, because you can easily find both.
however, i believe that one shouldn't see this as the absolute truth, and think what is most appropriate for your specific solution.
e.g. in zexy is used to use the plain helpsymbol, e.g. "zexy/niagara" (the path is part of the helpsymbol!); in later versions this changed so that now "help-" is _pre_pended to form "help-zexy/niagara"; by doing so, i can be compatible between various pd-versions (older versions (<=0.36?) did not support any help pre- or appending), with one single link (the directory zexy/ and help-zexy/ are the same). i consider this as a feature (being compatible with older versions of pd), but this might not be a big concern for newer externals. however, i am currently rethinking zexy's help-patch approach (and most likely i will agree with hcs!!)

at least i can check them out (there is a externals/ekext/zeroxpos~/zeroxpos~.c file which has a log entry from 02.Dec) you might have to use "cvs up -d" to get new directories,

Aha! This morning it was not there, but I cvs-ed it and now it is. It was ekext/zeroxpos~/* and ekext/voicing_detector~ I had to upload twice!...
