With regards the dll thing, is it possible to compiule a flext external with the MinGW, this would mean that you do not need a seperate dll to run the external? But by using MinGW I think they're might be problems with threading issues? I know that for example I just tried to compile a simple soundapp I had which compiles in Cygwin using MinGW and I got many many errors about pthread.h? Has anyone else had similar problem with MinGW, I would be interested to know?
regards, Rory.

for the Windows platform the free Cygwin and Borland compilers are supported. I don't recommend Borland since the make file format is primitive and it doesn't support threading either. A recent cygwin package should do it just well. Concerning the cygwin1.dll thing.... i also don't know if there are static libraries to link against for standalone externals.
best greetings, Thomas

Hallo, Thomas Grill hat gesagt: // Thomas Grill wrote:

threading.
you have to use a newer version of cygwin with a
gcc-3.x compiler.
Threading should work then
Oh, I didn't see yet, that you also provide
Cygwin-configs (I didn't
have time to look). So this means, that with a
recent Cygwin (or also
MinGW?) I can build flext and flext-ernals on
Windows without needing
to buy an expensive MS-product that's not included
in W2000?
I'll have to take a deeper look, because maybe
then I can provide
W32-versions of my externals in the future myself
;)
It would be cool to have a little tutorial on how
to make W32 and OS-X
ready to compile externals (flext and others),
btw. Linux comes with
the needed tools built in.
