Do i need to recompile pd for .net? I found articles in the archive where making your dll's with VS5 when Pd was compiled with VS6 was a problem.
I tried once to build Pd using VS 2003 and all of the makefiles looked hardcoded to VS98, which made it more trouble than I was wanting at the time. I seem to recall people putting effort into using minGW to build Pd and externals, so maybe that is an option?
Basically everything compiles with MinGW (PDP and PiDiP should be
possible too without a ton of work). To get everything compiling with
MSVC it will take a lot of work because the compiler works differently
that gcc, which is used on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and MinGW. From my
experience with MSVC 6, you can get about half of the externals to
compile.
The MinGW setup is relatively easy to do:

It would be quite interesting to see a speed comparison from Pd
compiled with MinGW/gcc and MSVC. I wonder what the different is...
