SUBJECT: Help needed with PD externals

Hi all,

I have been using pd in the windows environment [pentium machines with windows operating system (XP & Windows 2000 Professional)].
Moreover, I am using: Pd version 0.38.4-extended-RC8 (windows platform).

I have used the pre-built patches in pd, but i would now want to create my own pd externals.
I have developed someting in C/C++, and i would like to create an external out of my C/C++ code.

For coding in C/C++, I have used the free "DevCPP" (or DevC++) compiler (version 4.9.9.2) -
the IDE which uses the gnu C compiler MinGW at its base.

Can somone please share with me a simple compilable code that one can use and
which i can then later build upon to create my own pd external?

I'd like to mention here, just for the record, that I don't have a lot of experience in pd.

Thanks and best regards,

I don't know how this slipped through, its an old post, but just in case you didn't find it already there's a full howto at

http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/

which has everything you need to get started

One pitfall not mentioned is you need to link as shared object/dll rather than executable.
