Hi,

I guess your are on Windows. There is a pre-installed version of PD with GEM+Zexy+IEMlib(which are
most famous externals for pd), there: http://iem.kug.ac.at/~musil/iemlib/ All you have to do is to unzip wherever you want and double click on
one of the .bat file that fits your system (with/withoutMIDI,
2or16Ch....). The .bat file will start PD without involving any compiling to do. That way you can start. Good Luck. Alex

Hi to all, I've just subscribed. Ok, it's an idiot question. I downloaded the zip for win and read the
FAQ: "To use Pd at this stage you will need some patience and a sense of adventure. You might also need to be comfortable compiling and
debugging software written for C and UNIX". Now, I've got the sense of adventure and a lot of patience but I am not confortable in compiling C. Effectively, at the very moment I don't know what to do.

Is it possible to try to use pd anycase? I mean: are there some
resources on the web like "pd for *real* dummies: how to compile it"? Any suggestion is the most welcome.

Thanks a lot and sorry.
