Um. What if there is no configure and worse, no configure.ac (which you use autoconf with ??)
then look out for configure.in. else, you obviously cannot use the autotools.
There is no generic way to compile source code.
For *.pd_darwin ??
what does this question mean ? in which respect is the compilation process into pd_darwin different from the one i use to build dll's ???
tutorials to recently the iemmatrix.pd_darwin from CVS. Quite generic indeed.
what is wrong with the autoconf-build in iemmatrix ? i use it for compiling binaries for w32, linux and osX and it works fine.
i use autoconf for compiling both zexy and Gem under osX and linux too.
as for not knowing how to build a special external, i would strongly suggest reading files like README.txt, README.build, INSTALL.txt and so on. most of the times, you can find a lot of valuable information in there.
