Hey,

I am happy to try to help you thru the troubles you run into so that
we can get you building. My only request is that we do it on the pd- list so that it is archived and others and join in if they want to.

It seems to me that your /usr/local/ might not be setup right. In
MSYS, run the command "mount" and send the output to this thread.

Hi again,

sorry, but just don't bother about this anymore - obviously (at
least for me) compilation didn't work out, after ~1h with cpu at
100% the result is:

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. make: *** [config.status] Error 1 /usr/local/bin/lua51.dll exists, skipping...

I don't want to (and I shouldn't have to) bother you every couple of
hours whining because something isn't working. I'm not a programmer,
and when someone tells me to follow some tutorial, I kind of hope
that the tutorial works, and if it doesn't I really don't have the
knowledge to make it work, and slowly I loose my pacience for these
things as well. I also really don't have the time to mess around
looking to solve errors instead of doing my own work.

So I'll just work with the pd-ext I have, and if necessary I'll
switch momentarilly to vanilla until both catch up.

Thanks anyway,

João

You should be able to update that page if you log in. Its HTML
rather than wiki. As for the asiosdk2.1 folder, that comes from
the asio thing you get from Steinberg. You have to go thru their
webforms and you'll get a link via email.

As for /usr/local/include, you'll only see /usr/local when you are
in the msys shell, its specific to msys. These are the steps to
create it (from the mingw page):

Once you are in the MSYS shell, you need to make /usr/local:

mkdir /usr/local

Now edit C:\msys\1.0\etc\fstab, or from within the MSYS shell, /etc/ fstab. In that file, make sure you have these two lines (case is
important!):

c:/MinGW /mingw c:/MinGW /usr/local

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself
of it. - Thomas Jefferson
