With regards the dll thing, is it possible to compiule a flext external with the MinGW, this would mean that you do not need a seperate dll to run the external? But by using MinGW I think they're might be problems with threading issues? I know that for example I just tried to compile a simple soundapp I had which compiles in Cygwin using MinGW and I got many many errors about pthread.h? Has anyone else had similar problem with MinGW, I would be interested to know?

Hi Rory, i have not tried to compile with MinGW. I'll do so in the near future... One word to threading.... threading need not be used. It's an option for flext, enabled with -DFLEXT_THREADS. So, most externals which don't use threading at all could compile just fine with BorlandC++ or also MinGW.

greetings, Thomas
