Thomas, while we're talking about flext compiling on windows, are you still planning to try with mingw? Last week, I tried with cygwin but I was not successful, so I used bcc. I'd much prefer to use mingw, since it doesn't require the cygwin dll. Also, it is possible to build a flext dll and link flext externals dynamically?
Hi Marc, i never tried mingw, but i guess i should.....
Building a flext dll and dynamical libraries is in principle fully supported (but still inofficial since i have yet to deal with naming and versioning issues). Shared flext libraries are already built under Linux and OSX. Under Windows, edit makefile.pd-msvc to enable the shared targets. You should probably not enable sndobjs or STK integration for that. Then, just build your externals with -D FLEXT_SHARED (this will also enable threading) and link to the flext.dll. It's a good thing since it will make flext-based externals really small....
best greetings, Thomas
