I know zero about pd. Which is more than I know about a lot of things.
But. Do you all have to use VC++? I needed to recompile some 19 yr old, no gui, c code about six months ago to run on a new Win2k box. I went to Borland, downloaded a nice and simple compiler (the command-line only portion Borland C++ Builder 5), a really useful help file, and had my old code nicely rebuilt in about an hour. Didn't even bother with a make file, just a few command line flags. It was all in the help file. And free too.
Good luck to all -- Andrew Culver

Well, I don't claim to be very good at understanding the compilation environment on windows, but I could never get those makefiles to work, because I could never get my path right to link to m_pd.h. And in fact I emailed about this on pd-dev a couple times, but no one could ever seem to help me out.

p.s. I'll try to come up with an empty project and workspace for making externals in a day or two and post it online, now that I know how. Why doesn't this exist
Well, you could copy VC++ 6.0 projects from other externals / libraries (maxlib has one, for example). Most people seem to use the makefile directly, probably because you just need one makefile that contains all the information for all platforms. Instead of building a VC++ project / workspace from scratch it's also possible to 'import' existing makefiles. All changes still have to be made to the makefile directly (text editor), but it's possible to press F7 in VC++ to get everything compiled without having to type "nmake pd_nt" or whatever.
