Hi Everyone,

I’m looking to compile an external that’s using the flext https://grrrr.org/research/software/flext/ development layer. It’s called gendy https://github.com/ssfrr/gendyflext

I need to compile it with a target architecture of armv7 and to compile it as a static library.

The only thing I was able to do so far was to compile it as a dynamic library for macOS. Everything works great in that executable.

So far I’m pretty much familiar with how flext builds externals and I have managed to try some different things by editing its buildsys/config- files. But when I change the arch to armv7 my compilation fails.

|/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:707:2: error: Unsupported architecture|

My config-mac-pd-gcc looks like this:

|# where is the PD installation including source code? # (this should point to the main folder, which has a "src" (PD Vanilla) or "include" (PD extended) subfolder) PDPATH=/Applications/Pd-0.47-1.app/Contents/Resources

# where is the PD executable? PDBIN=$(PDPATH)/bin/pd

###############################################################

# prefix for flext installation # headers are in $(FLEXTPREFIX)/include/flext # libraries are in $(FLEXTPREFIX)/lib # build system is in $(FLEXTPREFIX)/lib/flext

FLEXTPREFIX=/usr/local

# where should the external be built? OUTPATH=pd-darwin

I would appreciate it if anyone who’s done something similar before can help!

Thanks, Orestis
