hi, dear list !
i recently did a successful self-compiling of the latest PD sources with Msys2 on my Windows 7 system, following lucardas instructions (which is basically a shorthand of the INSTALL.txt file that comes along with the latest PD sources).
everything went well - i had no errors in the compilation process and received a working pd-0.49.0
i also tried external libraries, all of them were perfectly loading and working, save for (you guessed it by the subject): Gem
==================================================== C:\pd-0.49.0\extra\Gem\Gem.dll: couldn't load Gem: can't load library ====================================================
suspect #1: are you by-chance trying to load a 32bit version of Gem into a 64bit version of Pd? that won't work. both the host (Pd) and the external (Gem) must have the same "architecture".
suspect #2: the usual mismatch between msvcr90.dll (missing from the Gem distribution) and the likes. the mailinglist archives should cover this.
just for the record: i can load Gem-0.93.3 ("Windows Archive (binaries + documentation)", so that's the ZIP version), just fine with Pd-0.49-0-i386 (ZIP version as well), using "wine" (not having tried it on a native windows machine)
