okay - good. now what i need to do is set PDLIBDIR variable to point to the repo on the drive. what's tripping me up is the variance of forward and back slashes in filepaths in msys/mingw64. for example i put the source files in my home directory of msys64, so using only Windows filepaths it's C:\msys64\home\scottlooney\pd-plaits-master.
i have set my active working directory to this directory and i've tried the following changes to PDLIBDIR adding to 'make all':
make all PDLIBDIR=../pd-plaits-master
make all PDLIBDIR=C:\msys64\home\scottlooney\pd-plaits-master
both of these fail. the latter prints the path as one runon string and ignores the slashes. the former seemingly indicates the path correctly but still fails.
any tips on where to copy the folder so that the path is clearly given? i'm not 100% sure but i'm reasonably certain all my errors so far are path related.
best,
scott
