Interesting... FWIW I wasn't able to get externals working either (I'm cross compiling with mingw on a linux box, so I believe it's pretty much the same compiler you're using). I discovered that I had to build a whole second copy of Pd using MSVC, and then (don't laugh... actually, yes, laugh) cop pd.lib from teh MSVC build over to the mingw one. So everything in the Pd release is mingw except pd.lib.
I believe pd.lib contains no code, just a sort of index into pd.dll that an extern needs at link time. I think I was able to get mingw to make a .lib file OK, but that externs linked against it would then crash. I've been meaning to revisit this someday, perhaps for 0.49 when I try to get 64 bit Windows builds to work. cheers Miller On Wed, Jul 26, 2017 at 10:53:59PM +0200, Christof Ressi wrote: > > Compiling with msys2 is straight forward? > > no, not at all :-) but Dan will be working on it and I'll try my best to help. > > I manage to get a working static build with ASIO support but externals (apart > from the extra folder) don't work.
