looking at the debian-stable and debian-testing debs from 2008-07-19, they ought to live in /usr/lib/pd/extra/moocow/any2string.pd_linux rsp. /usr/lib/pd/extra/moocow/any2string.pd_linux. the only pd-extended system on which my externals still don't build in windoof/mingw32, because that box is still using a broken version of make. what system are you using, Martin?
Yes I was using WinXP. I also have an Ubuntu machine which does have the moocow objects. I wonder what it is about those objects that makes them difficult to compile on Windows...I just looked through any2string.c and it looks like an ordinary source file for a pd external, except for the debug macro A2SDEBUG and the PACKAGE_VERSION, which should probably be defined in a header file, not the makefile.
afaik, there's no reason the objects shouldn't compile; the problem is that my pd-extended build rules use GNU make macros, and the make on the PdLab winxp build machine is "broken" (v3.79), meaning it doesn't handle macros propertly. i'm also unsure whether "configure" & co will work on mingw32, but that I can test (later... currently on baby duty)...
