Hi Andras, thanks for your reply! I didn't expect a compiler output like "everything ist fine, have a nice day!". I know of makefile systems which simply compile "as much as possible" and "install as much as possible" where "as much as possible" should be read as "incomplete" ;) In my opinion a make process should fail/stop with the first error it encounters. Good to know that pd seems to be one of this last kind ... I noticed that pd is said (according to the docs) expects everyting under "/usr/local" and installs itsself under "/usr/" (without modifications done by myself)??? And: If I download the source archive of pd-extended...is this complete? Or do I have to do a cvs/svn checkout as stated by the docs. Everything seems to be a little inconsistence it seems (may be only in my head, may be outside my head, may be both)...
