Hi to all,
Im trying to create my first "Hello world" external with this tutorial:
http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/pd-externals-HOWTO.pdf
How to save the file (what format) and how to load at puredata to see it works?
the format is a textfile, usually ending with .c (and not .txt) to load it into pd, you will have to compile it. you need a compiler for this. this is not covered by the howto, since compiling is heavily system dependent (and if you know enough C to follow the example, you should be able to compile).
for examples on how to compile an external, have a look into the makefiles of the externals that come with pd (e.g. doc/6.externs/ or /extra/*/) or have a look at one of the externals in the CVS at sourceforge (there is a webbrowser at http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/externals/)
