Hi
I was wondering if anybody successfully has compiled a PD external (for Windows) using gcc/Mingw or related compilers. I can compile and link alright but can't seem to be able to specify the setup method (like the /export:"foo_setup" with MSVC 6&7) and PD will not find it either.
Any ideas?

While we are on the topic is it possible to recompile Pd with gcc/Mingw, or Borland C++ on the Windows platform? And one last question, kinda off topic but does anyone know if it is possible to change the language of MSVC++ from French to english? Can I do this or do I need an english version straight from the box? Hence the questions about compiling with gcc/Mingw or Borland C++! Cheers!

Hi ,
I made some tests compiling with mingw, the results look promising, but I have to comb through the sources and adjust the "ifdefs".
That said, it compiles, but it doesn't work :(yet)

I have tried that several years ago, and I could not find a solution. But during that time a lot has changed.
Can you build a standard windows DLL with mingw ?
Maybe you need a postprocessing tool that converts your mingw object file into a proper windows DLL.
Well, just to let you know, I am very interested in finding a solution for this problem too, so if you have something, let us know.
Greetings, Guenter

Yes you can :-P I am using DEV-C++ and it can do all the setup stuff reqired to make a DLL. (It uses mingw for compiling).

There are some tools called dllwrap and dlltool that will create a DLL for you. You can add options to the compiler that creates a .DEF file which can be combined with the object file into a DLL. In this .DEF file I can actually see the exported fuction's name (foo_setup), but the funciton doesn't seem to be available to PD.
Could it be that the DLL is not binary compatible in some way?
Well, I'll keep digging.
Cheers Soeren
