-
-1) Using the flext build system
-1.1) Building flext
-1.2) Building externals
-
-2) Using autoconf
-
-3) Other ways to compile flext and flext-based externals
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-1) Using the flext build system
-===============================
-
-flext provides a universal build system which supports
-
-- various operating systems
-	Windows (win)
-	Linux (lnx)
-	MacOSX (mac)
-- various real-time systems
-	Pure Data (pd)
-	Max/MSP (max)
-- various make programs
-	GNU make (gnumake)
-	Microsoft nmake (nmake)
-	Borland make (bmake)
-- various compilers
-	Microsoft Visual C/C++ 6.0 or .NET 2002/2003 (msvc)
-	GNU gcc 2.95 and above (gcc,cygwin,mingw)
-	Borland bcc32 (bcc)
-
-Useful combinations of the above are
-
-win pd msvc, using nmake
-win pd cygwin, using gnumake
-win pd mingw, using gnumake
-win max msvc, using nmake
-win pd bcc, using bmake
-mac pd gcc, using gnumake
-mac max gcc, using gnumake - Mach-O externals only (Max 4.5 upwards)
-
-
-There are two central scripts in the flext folder which invoke the building process:
-- build.sh for bash shells (Linux, MacOSX, cygwin)
-- build.bat for the Windows command prompt
-
-A project needs to provide some information in order to be built properly.
-By default, this resides in a file called package.txt
-
-
-Please note, that the build system is shell-oriented, which means, that you'll have
-to launch a command prompt (cmd.exe under Windows) and probably also set some
-environment variables for your development system (e.g. run vcvars32.bat for Microsoft Visual Studio)
-
-By invoking one of the build scripts (e.g. with "bash build.sh" under unix, 
-or just "build" unter Windows) you'll get some lines of help.
-Operating System, real-time system and compiler need to be provided as arguments.
-
-
-See buildsys/readme.txt for developer-centered information.
-
-
-1.1) Building flext
-===================
-
-Flext can build itself using the build system.
-From the flext main directory, run the build script
-
-e.g. under Windows
-	build win pd msvc
-or under unix with
-	bash build.sh lnx pd gcc
-
-When you run it for the first time, one or more configuration files will be created 
-from templates - you will get a message on the console. 
-You should edit the files to adapt it to your system.
-
-Then install flext with (under Windows)
-	build win pd msvc install
-or (under unix)
-	bash build.sh lnx pd gcc install
-
-
-1.2) Building externals
-=======================
-
-The flext build system can be used to compile flext-based externals or also
-native PD and Max/MSP externals, provided there is a package.txt file in the project folder.
-
-In the shell, change to the project folder.
-Then, simply run the flext build script, 
-
-e.g. under Windows
-	..\flext\build win pd msvc
-Then install your newly built external with
-	..\flext\build win pd msvc install
-
-or under unix with
-	bash ../flext/build.sh lnx pd gcc
-Then install your external with
-	bash ../flext/build.sh lnx pd gcc install
-
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-2) Using autoconf
-=================
-
-Thanks to Tim Blechmann, flext can also be built using autoconf.
-This only works under unix shells.
-
-When starting from a fresh cvs-based copy of flext first run
-./bootstrap.sh
-
-then you can run
-./configure --help 
-to get a page of options.
-
-You need to pass the path to the PD source files to the ./configure script, e.g. with
-./configure --with-sysdir=/usr/local/src/pd/src
-
-Then build flext with
-make
-and install it with
-su -c "make install"
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-3) Other ways to compile flext and flext-based externals
-========================================================
-
-- Windows - Microsoft Visual Studio projects (.vcproj files)
-
-    Please have a look at the projects delivered with flext and flext-based externals.
-
-- MacOSX - Apple Xcode projects (.xcode bundles)
-
-    Please have a look at the projects delivered with flext and flext-based externals.
-
-    Xcode projects often use some Source Trees (definable in the Xcode Preferences).
-    - Flext - the flext main folder
-    - PD - the PD installation
-    - Max SDK - the Max SDK (path ending with "c74support")
-    - Max Common - Max common files (normally /Library/Application\ Support/Cycling\ \'74 )
-
-- MacOSX - Metrowerks Codewarrior (.mcp files)
-
-    You should have the following "Source Trees" (CW preferences, not project specific!) defined:
-    "OS X Volume" - Pointing to your OSX boot drive
-    "flext" - Pointing to the flext main directory
-    "Cycling74 OSX" - Pointing to the SDK for Max/MSP - the path should end with /c74support
-
-    With your project using flext use the prefix file "flcwmax-x.h" or, 
-    alternatively "flcwmax-x-thr.h" for threading support.
-
-- MacOS9 - Metrowerks Codewarrior (.mcp files)
-
-    You should have the following "Source Trees" (CW preferences, not project specific!) defined:
-    "flext" - Pointing to the flext main directory
-    "Cycling74" - Pointing to the Cycling 74 SDK
-    "MP SDK" - Pointing to the Multiprocessing SDK (for threading support)
-
-    With your project using flext use the prefix file "flcwmax.h" or, 
-    alternatively "flcwmax-thr.h" for threading support.

+
+
+1.3) Building externals
+=======================
+
+Both flext and flext-based externals have been successfully built with the 
+following combination of platform-system-compiler, build type.
+A missing combination does not necessarily mean that it won't work.
+
+win-pd-msvc, single/multi/shared
+win-pd-bcc, single/multi/shared
+win-pd-mingw, single/multi/shared
+win-pd-cygwin,
