Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to build pdogg~ on windows to use for ogg files.

In the readme file it says the following:

*To compile pdogg~ you need the Ogg/Vorbis library from
http://www.vorbis.com/ and under win additionally Pthreads-win32 from
http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/.
You have to modify the makefile to make it point to the place where the
libraries can be found on your system.

Im wondering 1) Where do I put these libraries? 2) Where in the makefile do I edit to include those locations? 3) How do I include those locations? There is no info in the help, or makefiles on how to do this? very cryptic indeed....

ok so i figured out how to install mingw

The link to the installer is wrong on the tutorial page, it should be here

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/OldFiles/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20120426/

Really confusing, took me hours to work this out ....

I'm completely stumped as to how to build PD on windows (to get this dll). I'm following the tutorial here

https://puredata.info/docs/developer/WindowsMinGW

But the tutorial seems really old, because the latest version of MinGW does not include those menu items suggested in the tutorial. In fact it's so different I cant even get past the first instruction.

Are there any good tuts on how to install MinGW on windows? Im going round in circles here...

Hi,

oggread fails on windows x64

I get:

Users/Test.ogg" opened
oggread~: error: could not open "C:/Users/Test.ogg" as an OggVorbis file
oggread~: file closed due to error

I cant get it to work no matter what path I give it. There are several others having the same problem, who are saying that its possible to get it working by rebuilding the "oggamp~.dll" in "\pd\extra\pdogg"

However, then I'm completely stumped as to how to build PD on windows (to get this dll). I'm following the tutorial here

https://puredata.info/docs/developer/WindowsMinGW

But the tutorial seems really old, because the latest version of MinGW does not include those menu items suggested in the tutorial. In fact it's so different I cant even get past the first instruction.
