so i suppose this mostly goes out to mr. grill, well anyway i have sort of figured out the command line aspects of pd but i still havent compiled flext, basically i just wanted to know what you mean by "edit config-pd-bcc.txt, run build-pd-bcc.bat", like i understand the whole running the .bat but what is the relavence of the text file? does it provide information for the compiling process, also im not 100% sure how to edit it, obviously i have to change the configuration to suit my computer but im not sure about the syntax

All you need to know about the syntax is, that everything after a # is ignored, and you are not supposed to change the caps words like PDPATH or BCCPATH. *But* you are supposed to change the things after the equal sign =. An example:

The standard file contains this line:

BCCPATH=c:\programme\prog\bcc55

This specifies, where the Borland C compiler is installed. The location in the file probably is the one, Thomas is using: c:\programme\prog\bcc55

But if you installed BCC to another directory, you need to name it here. So if your BCC is in "c:\Program Files\bcc", just change that line and mark it with "" if it contains spaces:

BCCPATH="c:\Program Files\bcc"

"And that, as they say, is that."
