Hi,

So once I download pd 46-7, how do I install it for windows 10? I tried downloading cygwin, but I couldn't manage to install automake (any tips on getting automake to install for windows 10? The readme was about 100 pages long and the basic installation instructions totally unclear...).
Then I tried installing Visual C, which wouldn't install on Windows 10, installed Visual Studio 2015 instead, but then I wasn't sure if that's the same thing. Then I cd the src file with command prompt, but when I tried the 'make -f' command, it told me that wasn't recognized as a command. Can anyone give a sad dummy who just wants to connect some delay patches with some granular synthesis a step-by-step walkthrough for installation on Windows 10?

Thanks for helping!

@wmullaney There are instructions in the "install.txt" file in "pd-0.46-7.msw\pd" but I have never tried.
However, you can open the "pd.com" program (or pd.exe if you wish) in the " .............pd-0.46-7.msw\pd\bin" folder, and then when the console opens you must go to "edit" "preferences" "path" and put (by pressing the "new" button) the paths to the "bin" folder and the path to your "working" folder (where you want to keep your patches)......
That will get you up and running in a sort of "portable" mode........

Hi,
Thanks for that! It is a good fix. Also more info on how to install cygwin and use it in command prompt is here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/41382/how-to-use-linux-commands-in-windows-with-cygwin/ From here, you don't have to try to figure out how to install the makefile program because you can use that command in command prompt now.

Also I forgot that Pd Extended has a .exe file for all the windows users/newbs here (I doubt there are very many of us...) https://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended/releases/0.43.4 and you can just install that.
