[flext] Fwd: Ubuntu 12.04 Flext install issues

Hi Jonathan, please always reply to the list.

file.

Have you looked whether it's really there? I remember that pd-extendedn did
not include this file (and other files) in the past. You might have to
download pd-vanilla and compile your external using the source code
provided there.

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the prompt reply! I think I understand the process of what's
supposed to happen to build correctly, however, I'm sadly still stuck a bit.

I tried again by removing everything, then checking out flext with svn.
 Then, I did this:

 U   flext
Checked out revision 3785.

It's got that fatal error with g_canvas.h, which I believe is located in
the pd-extended folder, which is pointed to in the config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt
file.

Is there another config file that I'm missing? I went here after it was
displayed:

A default package configuration file has been created.
Please edit config.txt, then start again.

but, nothing seemed to need tweeking?

I'm just not seeing what I'm missing.  Please excuse my ignorance.  Help is
greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jonathan
