If you are still game, I would start with the code from git, and once
you get that working, then you can try to take on Pd-extended! That
means compiling lots of libraries.

Hi,
I got some help from a hackerlab here in Toulouse, tetalab.org. A
lot of cursing and swearing after Windows as you can imagine! :)
I think we have managed to install most of the tool chain last night.
We followed the instructions for the 32bit tool chain. Most of the
tool chain is 32bit programs but MingW, which is 64bit. We got to
the stage of the ASIO SDK (included).
It was late when we finished and didn't have the time to try and run
a compilation.
Should I get the source from the git or the svn?
I've seen you switched over the last weeks.
If I can recollect all he did, I'll try to add that to the wiki page.
See you on IRC. My alias is 'pob'.

Hey Pierre Olivier,
Glad to hear you are back on the project! mescalinum has made some

Hello,
I'm still alive. I've been quite busy. I have a little more time
now and I'm getting some help with the setup of the compilation
environment for Windows 64. Hopefully this evening we'll get it to
work. I'll tell you how it goes.
Cheers

You can put the SVN files anywhere. Having no spaces in the path
is probably good, but maybe not mandatory.
Cygwin is useful to have and can't hurt as far as I know.

Tortoisesvn is getting all the files from svn.
Is there somewhere special I should download them to? I used a
folder on a secondary partition to keep the main partition being
overflowed with compilation files.
F:\pd-ext-compilation\svn\sources\...
I couldn't find any hints on WindowsMinGW wiki as what functions
I needed. I'll give it a first try wit the old version. And I'll
look into the newer files a bit later.
With MinGW, MSYS, should I get Cygwin too?

I didn't catch all I should do with the newer ones.
There are several "base system"/"CORE" files and for the
functions too. Which one(s) is/are the one(s) I need to
download. (bin ext doc dbg dev src lic) ? All of them? Is
there a way in Sourceforge to get all files in one go instead
of one by one.
You probably don't need everything. I'd follow the
WindowsMinGW page on that.
Can I just overwrite the old versions with the newer ones so
as to keep the general structure of MSYS? Or is this bad
practice?
I've generally deleted the old copies before installing new ones.
Do I need to install tortoisesvn to get the pd-extended 0.42.5
svn?
You need either SVN or rsync. The command line versions of
both are in Cygwin and easy to install there. You could also
use tortoisesvn
Sorry again for the beginner's questions. :)
Keep them coming, getting 64-bit builds on Windows will be a
valuable contribution!

Its not as complicated as it looks, its mostly a matter of
getting the files in the right places. You should also
install MSYS, check the WindowsMinGW page for how. But
perhaps you should use a newer version of MSYS. Then try a
build, download the Pd-extended source, and do this from the
MSYS shell:
cd pd/src
make -f makefile.mingw
My guess is that the 64-bit instructions are going to end up
looking quite similar to the WindowsMinGW page.

Hello Hans and everyone,
Thank you for the encouragment. It might take time, indeed. :)
OK, I installed the tdm-gcc.tdragon.net x32 and x64 MinGW.

I would avoid trying to build anything and instead install
from binaries. Building compilers can be a real pain.
Cygwin is quite easy to install, so I see no harm in
installing it.
I created a wiki page to document our progress, everyone
should write notes there:
https://puredata.info/docs/developer/Windows64BitMinGWX64
Upon looking at it, I think a good place to start is by
downloading the most recent of mingw-w64-bin-x86_64:
http://www.drangon.org/mingw/
This looks even more promising though:

Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I've offered to help with the Windows 64bit
build. I'm really new to compiling software, so I'll
probalby need some help to get started. If you think this
is unmanageable for a beginner don't be afraid to tell me
so. I have some good will and patience, but I don't want
to waste anyone's time. :)
I'm reading the MinGW-w64 pages on Sourceforge.
I should be looking for a native compiler for w64, but I
can't seem to find any. I suppose since it's a native
compiler I can build it myself. Is this correct. Then,
should I download a tarball and compile from the source?
Otherwise I found what seems to be a native version here:
http://www.drangon.org/mingw/
I cannont find either the MinGW-get installer mentioned on
the 32bit version of the instructions. I suppose there is
nothing similar for the 64bit version for the time being.
I suppose I have to get Cygwin for compilation too.
Anything I should pay special attention to concerning this?
Thanks for your help

A Windows 7 build sounds like a good idea. The first
place to start is getting a MinGW-w64 build environment
setup. If you get that installed, then first try just
building the core of pd-extended without all the
libraries. That shouldn't be too hard to get going.
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/
Here is the whole instructions for the 32-bit environment:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/WindowsMinGW
Perhaps it makes sense to continue this discussion on pd-
dev?

Hello,
I've been using Puredata for a year now and I'd be glad
to help with the new release.
I'll be getting a new computer for performances in the
coming up week.
It will be an Asus N82 (it's not on their website at the
moment).
Intel Core i7 - 720QM (quad core) with 4GB of RAM an
Nvidia Geforce GT335M
The OS is a Windows 7 64bit. I might install some linux
distro too alongside the original OS.
I can leave the computer on as much as needed for the
autobuild process. I will use the computer for my own
too. But I can leave it on at night.
I don't know if you want specifically Windows XP or if
Windows 7 which is more and more widespread now can do
too.
You can contact me with this email or with skype (same
email address).
Cheers
