hello!

i'm new to externals programming and tried out the examples from the pd-externals-HOWTO.pdf at (http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/). everything worked, except the pan~ example...

everything complies, but if i try to put an "test~" (renamed from pan~ because there already exists a pan~ object in PD-extended) object, it doesn't work:

test~
... couldn't create

i tried out several variations, but the result stays the same.... has anyone a clue how to fix this, or can someone provide a very basic signal example for an external to me?

@ClaudiusMaximus said:

the file has to be "test~.pd_linux"

oh thanks very much! i thought, i can complile more than one pd-object into the same external... so now i know, that there must be one external named equal to the object that it contains, right?!

greetings, -vlp-
