Hi Hans,

the first option of setting environment/build variables has these effects:
For the second option you gave

changing PD_PATH = $(shell cd "$(PROGRAMFILES)"/pd && pwd) to PD_PATH ?= $(shell cd "$(PROGRAMFILES)"/pd && pwd)
works in eclipse defining an environment variable inside project preferences/C/C++ Build/Environment as PD_PATH = ${ProgramFiles}/pd.
And it works too running make PD_PATH=/c/Programmi/pd from the mingw shell.

Many thanks.

Ciao

Arg, that's really annoying.  Eclipse seems to strip the ProgramFiles env var from the environment when it runs the build.  What if you set the ProgramFiles variable in Eclipse?  Another option might be that we change  the PD_PATH definition to be assigned with ?= then it can be overridden by setting an env var PD_PATH.  This should currently work in Eclipse and the cmd line:

make PD_PATH=/c/programmi/pd showsetup

Ok, I checked in the CC=gcc for MinGW.  For the other two issues, unfortunately its more complicated:

mycobject.dll is created by eclipse at the price of defining:

CFLAGS = -I"C:/Programmi/pd/src" -Wall -W -g in place of CFLAGS = -I"$(PD_INCLUDE)/pd" -Wall -W -g

The header arrangement has changed in 0.43, so now all of the headers are included in $(PD_INCLUDE)/pd.  We haven't quite figured out how to handle that everywhere yet tho...

PD_PATH = c:/programmi/pd in place of PD_PATH = $(shell cd "$(PROGRAMFILES)"/pd && pwd)

This little script to set PD_PATH works for me on my MinGW setup.  Can you put the old PD_PATH line back in the Makefile and run 'make showsetup' and send me the result?  You should see what its setting PD_PATH to.  I'd like to get that working automatically.

and declaring CC = gcc




Perhaps Eclipse sets CFLAGS or LDFLAGS, which is overriding things in
the Makefile?

About this template, it is oriented around making libraries, so that
includes the meta file for marking the folder as a library.  Setting it
up is simple:

- rename the template folder to the name of your library
- rename template-meta.pd replacing 'template' with the name you just
used for the folder
- edit Makefile and put the library/folder/meta name in the first
variable, LIBRARY_NAME

Now you can set library meta data in the meta file, things like version,
authors, etc.
