I don't have my windows setup handy, but I see that in pd/extra/makefile.subdir I'm searching for libcmt.lib in an explicitly named directory (in that case, it's C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib but that's using visual studio 9; I guess for visual studio 6 it's similar).
So that perhaps answers the other question - I must have visual studio 9.

Yesterday I promised to compile [bob~] for windows, but I am having trouble delivering.
It /seems/ that the only way to compile externs on Windows is to have Visual Studio 6.0. I found a download online and have copied the Vc98 folder (which has all pertinent libraries and headers) into an appropriate path for the makefile to find. What bites is that when I hit make, the linker fails to acknowledge LIBCMT.lib (which is clearly in my Vc98 folder.) I scoured the web for some info on building dlls for Pd, but there isn't much there.
Is anyone out there developing externs in modern Windows (ie 7 or 8 with Visual Studio >=9.0)? I have considered making a project template for Visual Studio 9.0, but I anticipate problems with pd.lib and (lack of) back compatibility.
This is something that I need to have, so I'm happy to keep working on this, but if there is already a solution that someone can point me to, well, that'd be swell. Thanks, David
