Where exactly can I get a pd dsw from? Is it something I have to create or can I download one from the web somewhere? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johannes M Zmoelnig" zmoelnig@iem.kug.ac.at To: "jsf103" jsf103@york.ac.uk Cc: "pd-list" pd-list@iem.kug.ac.at Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 2:18 PM Subject: Re: [PD] Compiling PD externals

Sorry to add yet another tedious and over asked question to this mailing list but I really need some help. I am trying to write some pd externals and decided to start by using the tutorial example "Helloworld". BUT Visual C++ WILL NOT compile it, it simply says 'UNEXPECTED END OF FILE WHILE LOOKING FOR PRECOMPILED HEADER DIRECTIVE". I really don't know what to do, and yes I have looked through the archives and still found nothing. I just need to know how to set up Visual C++ for pd. PLEASE help me someone!!
(Mark already answered to this one) if you still have problems try getting a pd-library (for windows) that already has a vc-workspace (*.dsw) pe: zexy, iemlib
delete the source-files in your project-manager window and insert yours. and maybe you will have to edit the project-properties to export helloworld_setup instead of orglib_setup (pe: zexy_setup) i don't know right now because there is no vc right at hand.
if you want to create your own workspace be sure to insert the correct source-paths to the pd-includes (to find m_pd.h which is in pd/src) and the linker-paths to the pd-libs (pd.lib which is in pd/bin) nevertheless, you might have to edit these paths even if you use already existing workspaces to match your installation.

ps: gosh, it is really time to add a "compiling??"-section to the HOWTO. please, can anyone send me instructions for alternative windows-compilers (cygwin, borland-builder,...) since i have none of these
