morning,

you need to link the object file(s) into a shared library; by default, it seems that pd/linux looks for externals with the suffix '.pd_linux' -- the flags i use for gcc are something like:

-shared -export_dynamic

... or alternately

-shared -rdynamic

... perhaps these are equivalent? so:

bash$ gcc -Wall -o myextern.pd_linux myextern.o

ought to do it for a single-file external.
