Hello all,

Has anyone else had a problem trying to compile an external from the CVS source? I just checked out the externals dir from CVS, and wanted to compile the latest [hid], so after reading the README in the hid directory, I typed:

make INCLUDE=/usr/lib/pd/src PDEXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/pd

..and got the following:

--paste-- dmerrill@dmerrill-t40:~/externals/hcs/hid$ make INCLUDE=/usr/lib/pd/src PDEXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/pd make -C /home/dmerrill/externals hid make[1]: Entering directory /home/dmerrill/externals' Makefile:25: /home/dmerrill/externals/../packages/Makefile.buildlayout: No such file or directory grep: /sigpack/source/sIgpAck.c: No such file or directory grep: /zexy/src/zexy.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target/home/dmerrill/externals/../packages/Makefile.buildlayout'. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dmerrill/externals' make: *** [default] Error 2 --end paste--

Why would the build want a /sigpack, and /zexy directory? And am I missing a Makefile.buildlayout file?

I am on linux, running Ubuntu Dapper. (kernel 2.6.15-26-386) thanks, -David M.
