This thread also fixed the problem with a new external my friend (Adrian Taylor) built to replace Olaf Matthes' no longer avaliable Enttec Pro DMX/USB interface external.

Before, it worked, but when you saved and exited after the patch had been activated, the object broke. The rectangular border around the object itself dissappeared entirely.

This new external, [dmxsend], is windows only at the moment, but seems to work perfectly now that it has been compiled with the additional flag.

Thanks very much, David Kirkpatrick

Thanks to this thread, I think I fixed the problem with cyclone too...

ok, unfortunately your make excerpt didn't tell me enough, since you should have done a "make clean" before. (only the linking stage is executed since the compilation of additive~.o is already up-to-date).

miller's pd is compiled with M$VC-6 (i think), you have to tell gcc that you are linking against such library.

try to use the "-mms-bitfields" cflag to gcc when _compiling_ your
external. and tell us what happens.

# I select clean in the project menu. This time there is a new line in the make excerpt.
