I don't know if there is such a list, but I'd be glad to add several externals I've been able to compile with my machine, and comment about how it has been done, then pdx maintainers could had them to the build farm. The problem is that most pdx externals building use a single Makefile for compilation that resides in externals, so it makes tricky patch submiting, because it's a lot easier to use the Makefile provided by the dev in most cases (that's happening with unauthorized externals for example). I sometimes submit dll's to the list, but it's not really a good thing. if one is interested I've built these ones lately: exciter filterbank formant pianoroll probalizer samplebox sonogram speex spigot~ most just need -liberty in linker flags -- Patrice Colet _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
