I'm willing to work on the externals. I'm rather busy at the moment but am willing to slowly work on writing makefiles for various externals that need their own. I figure we should start with some generic makefile that maybe tests for environment variables for the INSTALL_PREFIX, location of m_pd.h, .. what else..? so that it could be called from a higher up makefile with that info setup already.

'externals' cannot be self-sufficient since it will always depend on the headers in 'pd'.
the existing scripts were smart enough to find m_pd.h (and the other headers) alonside externals/, or its parent directory
see miXed/ it still works that way
the issue is you introduced dependencies on several new toplevel dirs for no good reason
and broke up the modularity of the makefiles
this has basically been my arguing for ages.
i would very much like to revamp the entire build-system, but haven't had the time to do it. if several people are interested in doing so we could form a taskforce and just do it.
oh well, unsubscribing. have fun in your broken paradise
oh well, your zeal was shortlived then.... let me know if you are still interested in making a better world.
