Sounds like you are trying to compile the latest CVS version of Pd.
The whole Pd-extended build system is setup around 0.39.2. Many of
the patches that are applied are already included in the latest CVS
version, hence the "reversed (or previously applied)" errors.

If you want to build Pd yourself, stick with 0.39.2. If you want to
try to get the latest CVS version building with Pd-extended, I don't
think anyone's done it yet. That'll happen after a proper release of
0.39.2 of Pd-extended.

so i tried to compile pd under windows, again.

i've followed the instructions at www.puredata.info/docs/developer/ mingw letter-for-letter on a new pc (my work machine running winxp).

applying the patches under 'packages' in cvs, i get a number of
"reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!" the default
response for this error is to skip, so i skipped. this happens on
s_main.c, makefile.in, and m_class.c. also on one patch, it can't
find the target file (d_mayer_fft.c). many other patches give 'hunk
failed' messages, including s_loader.

compiling the patched version anyway gives

...

s_loader.c:252: error: conflicting types for sys_load_lib

looking at the source file, it looks like a bad merge (which i kind
of expected), so deleting the second (simpler, only one line)
sys_load_lib function allows it to compile.

the error now becomes

...

no rule to make target d_mayer_fft.c

which would lead me to believe someone has forgot to add
d_mayer_fft.c to cvs.

any help?
