hello,

>> does not work on Windows:

yeah that libtkdnd is built for MacOS 64-bit only (i believe). tkdnd would have to be built for windows (dll?).

really the repo needs a submodule (https://github.com/petasis/tkdnd) but i think i remember it was such a pain to get built ( see https://github.com/petasis/tkdnd/issues/1 ) i just pushed what worked for my system and left it at that. it should work on all os's now that pd is all tk 8.5 and greater. i think part of the problem a couple years ago was MacOS pd vanilla was still stuck at tk 8.4.

even trying to build quick now i get:

$ ./configure --with-tcl /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/tkConfig.sh 

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target

configure: WARNING: invalid host type: /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/tkConfig.sh

checking TEA configuration... ok (TEA 3.13)

configure: configuring tkdnd 2.9

checking system version... Darwin-17.4.0

checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: yes directory doesn't contain tclConfig.sh

....and dont have time to troubleshoot.

Hi, would it be possible to write an external that could respond to drag
and drop? Like opening a file or something? Was anything like this ever
done? Or is it impossible cause it'd require some changes to Pd?

yes, it was done.
