You only need to worry about the makefile stuff if you need to recompile the .dll file. Since the object is loading, you probably don't. I've fixed up the object a little bit. It may not solve your problem, but it shouldn't crash PD anymore and it will give you an error message that might help in tracking down the problem. Get it at:

hi all
sorry for the newbie question - its my first few days on pd!
i have downloaded the joystick object and am trying to get it happening with a usb microsoft sidewinder precision pro, running under windows 98
i am not too sure about where to put the unzipped files.
i have put them in the 'extra' directory in a folder i created called 'joystick'
this is what i get when i launch the example file 'joystick.pd'
joystick object loaded (J. Sarlo) configuring joystick: found 10 axes found 0 buttons
then the application performs an illegal operation and says it will be shut down...
some reference is made on the download site of the need to do a 'makefile' after unzipping
problem is i am not sure what this is, or how i do it... can anyone help me here?
cheers
