Hi,
I usually run Pd in a debugger like this:
gdb --args pd <flags/args>
run
Wait for the segfault. The following will print a stack trace, showing you the function where the segfault occurs:
bt
(you might need to hit enter to show additional lines of the stacktrace)
From there you can either set breakpoints (https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/gdb/html_node/gdb_28.html) or use good ol' printf debugging :-) IDEs like Qt Creator have an integrated graphical frontend for GDB, which makes debugging a more pleasant experience.
If you have time, please start investigating! I can have a look (and fix the build system) later this month.

As I said before, I could make a binary with Christof's steps, but I dont know how to debug an external on windows. If you can give me some basic guidelines I can continue with that.
In the meantime, we got joyosc working on Windows so that's looking good!
Best,

You just have to replace it with #include <hidsdi.h>. I also compiled it with Msys2.

I try to get some data on why it crashes but it just says 'segmentation fault':
camarahalac.1@ACD-NC054624 MINGW64 ~/Desktop $ /c/Users/camarahalac.1/Downloads/pd-0.50-2/bin/pd.exe -d 4 -stderr -open /c/Users/camarahalac.1/Downloads/pd-0.50-2/extra/hidio/hidio-help.pd Segmentation faultI tried this using Msys64 but get hidio_windows.c:37:10: fatal error: ddk/hidsdi.h: No such file or directory 37 | #include <ddk/hidsdi.h> I can't find any package for mingw64 that has this file. There is a hidapi, which uses hidapi.h.. https://github.com/libusb/hidapi It uses functions like hid_get_manufacturer_string instead of HidD_GetManufacturerString so it could probably be used fir the windows build.
