[flext] flext and pd.lib/libpd.a

[Patrick Gampp]

Hi,
When I built the flext tutorial example simple1, I had to include the static flext library.

I took a step forward and tried to build an external, which already worked on Windows. This is a signal-based external using FLEXT_NEW_DSP. On Windows I had to include the flext library and pd.lib, which was delivered with the pd-vanilla.

I built puredata for Mac and no puredata-library was generated (at least I didn't find one in the src-folder). I searched the Makefile for a something like a "generate library target", but I didn't find one.

For a better understanding how to work with flext, I have the following questions:

Do I really need the static puredata library, or is there a way to omit it for DSP-externals?
If the pd-lib is needed, what is the usual approach to build/get it?

Many regards,
Patrick
