Hi
can anybody help me to find pd.lib?
It's in the pd/bin folder of Miller's Windows versions.
It would be nice if it (or at least a list of exported symbols)
was included in the autobuilds for Windows but it isn't, I guess
because MinGW and Cygwin don't require it for linking.
Feel free to make this change directly in the Pd-extended branch.
I think it would just be a matter of editing makefile.mingw to make
it generate the files you want, then adding those files to the
packages/win32_inno/pd-inno.iss.in so that they are included in the
installer.
OK I just added code to create a pddll.def file. This can then be
used to make a pd.lib in MSVC, so externals for pd-extended may be
built using MSVC. (as long as they don't pass file handles across
the dll boundary -- an issue involving different c runtimes having
different FILE structs)
(Other possibilities: Perhaps libpd.a can be used directly just by
renaming it pd.lib (but it is currently not installed into pd/bin),
or nm can be used to extract the symbols from pd.dll (but this must
be done before it is stripped.))
packages/win32_inno/pd-inno.iss.in already copies everything in pd/
bin to pd/bin so no change seems needed there.
I notice there is already a pdtcl.def file being created using
pdtcl.dll, but it doesn't seem to be used or installed.
I'll check tomorrow's build to see if it worked.

I know nothing of MS's compiler, only gcc, so sorry I can't be of more
help there. But in theory, libpd.a sounds like pd.lib to me.
