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.
i think this is all wrong. you don't have to copy anything anywhere. you shouldn't even think about doing that (where did you get the idea from?)
i *think* that you are just running "make" in the wrong directory. you should run it in the "pd-plaits-master" directory (which contains files like "plts~.cpp")¹
once you have installed the proper toolchain (make, compiler,...) the
*only* thing you might have to adjust is the location of your
Pd-installation (if you have installed Pd into a non-standard location)
via the PDDIR
variable.
the standard installation location of Pd is in "C:\Program Files" (for
64bit Pd) and "C:\Program Files (x86)" for 32bit Pd (or some l10n
variation thereof). if you have installed Pd into this location (these
locations), then you don't need to worry about "PDDIR".
for a beginner, i would strongly suggest to use the standard installtion
locations.
you will need the a Pd installation of the same architecture you want to compile for (if you want to build a 32bit external, you need the 32bit version of Pd; if you want to build a 64bit external, you need the 64bit version of Pd; if you want to build both versions of the external, you need both versions of Pd)
1. download pd-plaits and unzip it
2. open the MinGW32-shell (for building a 32bit external) resp the
MinGW64-shell (for building a 64bit external)
3. change into the pd-plaits directory
$ cd pd-plaits-master
4. run make
$ make
this will create a "plts~.dll" for you (the name's the same for both 32bit and 64bit externals; if you want both, you should rename the 64bit external to "plts~.m_amd64")

¹ usually this would be the "pd-plaits" directory; but since you appear to have downloaded the ZIP
