Hi,
I have some external coded in C. Works fine. I need to share it with some Windows user.
I dont understand some point of the documentation here: https://github.com/pure-data/pd-lib-builder/blob/d187d4792978ceb4bcc8e68bd347f13fca24f11c/tips-tricks.md
"Example to build W32 binaries (assuming package mingw-w64 is installed and a W32 package for Pd is unzipped into a path ${PDWIN32}:"
What is a "W32 package for Pd"?
Thanks for your help!
Marco

External cross compilation

If you really need to share with Windows users and have a Windows machine then it is possible and very easy to compile externals in Windows without Msys2 using MVS. Regarding your question, at the moment I am not able to cross-platform compile Pd in Msys2 and I'm not sure how the Windows packages are compiled at the moment.

I guess a W32 package for Pd is a 32-bit Windows Pd executable, which you can get from Pd's website. If you're on Linux, you can run it with wine, to test that your external really works as expected.
