+# Makefile.pdlibbuilder dated 2016-06-26
+
+version = 0.2.5
+
+# Helper makefile for Pure Data external libraries.
+# Written by Katja Vetter March-June 2015 for the public domain. No warranties.
+# Inspired by Hans Christoph Steiner's Makefile Template and Stephan Beal's
+# ShakeNMake.
+#
+# GNU make version >= 3.81 required.
+#
+#
+#=== characteristics ===========================================================
+#
+#
+# - defines build settings based on autodetected OS and architecture
+# - defines rules to build Pd class- or lib executables from C or C++ sources
+# - defines rules for libdir installation
+# - defines convenience targets for developer and user
+# - evaluates implicit dependencies for non-clean builds
+#
+#
+#=== basic usage ===============================================================
+#
+#
+# In your Makefile, define your Pd lib name and class files, and include
+# Makefile.pdlibbuilder at the end of the Makefile. Like so:
+#
+#    ________________________________________________________________________
+#
+#     # Makefile for mylib
+#
+#     lib.name = mylib
+#
+#     class.sources = myclass1.c myclass2.c
+#
+#     datafiles = myclass1-help.pd myclass2-help.pd README.txt LICENSE.txt
+#
+#     include Makefile.pdlibbuilder
+#    ________________________________________________________________________
+#
+#
+# For files in class.sources it is assumed that class basename == source file
+# basename. The default target builds all classes as individual executables
+# with Pd's default extension for the platform. For anything more than the
+# most basic usage, continue reading.
+#
+#
+#=== list of Makefile.pdlibbuilder API variables ===============================
+#
+#
+# Variables available for definition in your library Makefile:
+#
+# - lib.name
+# - lib.setup.sources
+# - class.sources
+# - common.sources
+# - shared.sources
+# - <classname>.class.sources
+# - <classname>.class.ldflags
+# - <classname>.class.ldlibs
+# - cflags
+# - ldflags
+# - ldlibs
+# - datafiles
+# - datadirs
+# - makefiles
+# - makefiledirs
+# - externalsdir
+#
+# Optional multiline defines evaluated per operating system:
+#
+# - forLinux
+# - forDarwin
+# - forWindows
+#
+#
+# Variables avaialable for (re)definition via command arguments:
+#
+# - pdbinpath (Windows only)
+# - pdincludepath
+# - DESTDIR
+# - prefix
+# - libdir
+# - pkglibdir
+# - CPPFLAGS
+# - CFLAGS
+# - LDFLAGS
+# - CC
+# - CXX
+# - INSTALL
+# - INSTALL_PROGRAM
+# - INSTALL_DATA
+# - INSTALL_DIR
+#
+# Variables available for your makefile or as command argument:
+#
+# - objectsdir
+# - make-lib-executable
+# - suppress-wunused
+#
+#
+#=== descriptions of Makefile.pdlibbuilder API variables =======================
+#
+#
+# lib.name: 
+# Name of the library directory as it will be installed / distributed. Also the
+# name of the lib executable in the case where all classes are linked into
+# a single binary.
+#
+# lib.setup.sources:
+# Source file(s) (C or C++) which must be compiled only when linking all classes
+# into a single lib binary.
+#
+# class.sources:
+# All sources files (C or C++) for which the condition holds that 
+# class name == source file basename.
+#
+# <classname>.class.sources:
+# Source file(s) (C or C++) specific to class <classname>. Use this for
+# multiple-source classes or when class name != source file basename.
+#
+# common.sources:
+# Source file(s) which must be statically linked to each class in the library.
+#
+# shared.sources:
+# Source file(s) (C or C++) to build a shared dynamic link lib, to be linked
+# with all class executables.
+#
+# cflags, ldflags, ldlibs:
+# Define cflags (preprocessor&compiler), ldflags (linker) and ldlibs (dynamic
+# link libs) for the whole library. These flags are added to platform-specific
+# flags defined by Makefile.pdlibbuilder.
+#
+# <classname>.class.ldflags and <classname>.class.ldlibs: 
+# Define ldflags resp. ldlibs specific to class <classname>. These flags are
+# added to platform-specific flags defined by Makefile.pdlibbuilder, and flags
+# defined in your Makefile for the whole library. Note: cflags can not be
+# defined per class in the current implementation.
+#
+# datafiles and datadirs: 
+# All extra files you want to include in binary distributions of the
+# library: abstractions and help patches, example patches, meta patch, readme
+# and license texts, manuals, sound files, etcetera. Use 'datafiles' for all
+# files that should go into your lib rootdir and 'datadirs' for complete
+# directories you want to copy from source to distribution.
+#
+# externalsdir: 
+# Relative path to directory 'externals' in the context of pd-extended SVN, or
+# any other centralized build layout for multiple libraries. Default value
+# is '..', meaning the direct parent. The value is used in search paths for 
+# pd core components (header files, and executable in the case of Windows).
+#
+# forLinux, forDarwin, forWindows:
+# Shorthand for 'variable definitions for Linux only' etc. Use like:
+#    define forLinux
+#      cflags += -DLINUX
+#      class.sources += linuxthing.c
+#    endef
+#
+# makefiles and makefiledirs: 
+# Extra makefiles or directories with makefiles that should be made in sub-make
+# processes.
+#
+# pdbinpath:
+# For Windows only. Directory where pd.dll can be found for linking.
+#
+# pdincludepath:
+# Directory where Pd API m_pd.h can be found, and other Pd header files.
+#
+# DESTDIR, prefix, libdir:
+# Components of the path for installation as conventionally used on Linux.
+#
+# pkglibdir:
+# Base path for installation of Pd library directories. Default is specified
+# per OS, see section about paths below.
+#
+# objectsdir:
+# Alias of pkglibdir. Can be defined in your makefile to enable project-
+# dependent relative install locations.
+#
+# CPPFLAGS:
+# Preprocessor flags which are not strictly required for building.
+#
+# CFLAGS:
+# Compiler flags which are not strictly required for building. Compiler flags
+# defined by Makefile.pdlibbuilder for warning, optimization and architecture
+# specification are overriden by CFLAGS.
+#
+# LDFLAGS:
+# Linker flags which are not strictly required for building. Linker flags
+# defined by Makefile.pdlibbuilder for architecture specification are overriden
+# by LDFLAGS.
+#
+# CC and CXX:
+# C and C++ compiler programs as defined in your build environment.
+#
+# INSTALL, INSTALL_PROGRAM, INSTALL_DATA, INSTALL_DIR:
+# Definitions of install program, may be overriden via command argument.
+#
+# make-lib-executable:
+# When this variable is defined 'yes' in your makefile or as command argument,
+# Makefile.pdlibbuilder will try to build all classes into a single library
+# executable (but it will force exit if lib.setup.sources is undefined).
+# If your makefile defines 'make-lib-executable=yes' as the library default,
+# this can still be overriden with 'make-lib-executable=no' as command argument 
+# to build individual class executables (the Makefile.pdlibbuilder default.)
+#
+# suppress-wunused:
+# When this variable is defined ('yes' or any other value), -Wunused-variable,
+# -Wunused-parameter, -Wunused-value and -Wunused-function are suppressed,
+# but the other warnings from -Wall are retained.
+#
+#
+#=== paths =====================================================================
+#
+#
+# Source files in directories other than current working directory must be
+# prefixed with their relative path. Do not rely on VPATH or vpath.
+# Object (.o) files are built in the directory of their source files.
+# Executables are built in current working directory. 
+#
+# Variable 'pdincludepath' stores a location where m_pd.h is expected to reside.
+# Locations where Makefile.pdlibbuilder tries to find it, in order of priority:
+#
+# any OS:   $(externalsdir)../pd/src
+#
+# Linux:    /usr/include/pdextended
+#           /usr/include/pd
+#
+# OSX:      /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/include/pdextended
+#           /Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/src
+#
+# Windows:  %PROGRAMFILES%/pd/include/pdextended
+#           %PROGRAMFILES%/pd/src
+#
+# The path for installation of all library components is constructed as:
+#
+# installpath := $(DESTDIR)$(objectsdir)/$(lib.name)
+#
+# Default for 'objectsdir' is defined per platform and follows this convention:
+# https://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files
+#
+# Linux:    /usr/local/lib/pd-externals
+# OSX:      ~/Library/Pd
+# Windows:  %APPDATA%/Pd
+#
+# The rationale for not installing to ~/pd-externals by default on Linux
+# is that some people share the home dir between 32 and 64 bit installations.
+#
+#
+#=== targets ===================================================================
+#
+#
+# all: build $(executables) plus optional post target
+# post: target to build after $(executables)
+# alldebug: build all with -g option turned on for debug symbols
+# <classname>: force clean build of an individual class
+# <sourcefile>.pre: make preprocessor output file in current working directory
+# <sourcefile>.lst: make asm/source output file in current working directory
+#
+# install: install executables and data files
+# clean: remove build products from source tree
+#
+# help: print help text
+# vars: print makefile variables
+# allvars: print all variables
+# depend: print generated prerequisites
+# coffee: dummy target
+#
+# Variable $(executables) expands to class executables plus optional shared lib,
+# or alternatively to single lib executable when make-lib-executable=true.
+# Targets pre and post can be defined by library makefile. Make sure to include
+# Makefile.pdlibbuilder first so default target all will not be redefined.
+#
+#
+#=== Pd-extended libdir concept ================================================
+#
+#
+# For libdir layout as conceived by Hans-Christoph Steiner, see:
+#
+# https://puredata.info/docs/developer/Libdir
+#
+# Files README.txt, LICENSE.txt and <lib.name>-meta.pd are part of the libdir
+# convention. Help patches for each class and abstraction are supposed to be
+# available. Makefile.pdlibbuilder does not force the presence of these files
+# however. It does not automatically include such files in libdir installations.
+# Data files you want to include in distributions must be defined explicitly in
+# your Makefile.
+#
+#
+#=== Makefile.pdlibbuilder syntax conventions ==================================
+#
+#
+# Makefile.pdlibbuilder variable names are lower case. Default make variables,
+# environment variables, and standard user variables (CC, CXX, CFLAGS, DESTDIR)
+# are upper case. Use target 'allvars' to print all variables and their values.
+#
+# 'Fields' in data variables are separated by dots, like in 'foo.class.sources'.
+# Words in variables expressing a function or command are separated by dashes, 
+# like in 'make-lib-executable'.
+#
+#
+#=== useful make options =======================================================
+#
+#
+# Use 'make -d <target>' to print debug details of the make process.
+# Use 'make -p <target>' to print make's database.
+#
+#
+#=== TODO ======================================================================
+#
+#
+# - decide whether to use -static-libgcc or shared dll in MinGW
+# - cygwin support
+# - android support
+# - Windows 64 bit support
+# - figure out how to handle '$' in filenames
+# - add makefile template targets dpkg-source dist libdir distclean tags?
+#
+#

+# bendinfix
+
+This external provides a helper object to maintain compatibility between the bendin value ranges of different Pd flavors (specifically, vanilla Pd, pd-l2ork version 1, and purr-data a.k.a. pd-l2ork version 2+).
+
+Pd has a long-standing [bug](https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/1262/) in that its bendin object produces an unsigned value range of 0 thru 16383, while the bendout object expects a signed range of -8192 thru +8191. Which means that you have to translate the values when routing pitch bends from MIDI input to MIDI output. It also makes it harder to translate pitch bend input to frequency offsets. This bug has been there for such a long time that it now can't be fixed any more, to maintain backwards compatibility.
+
+However, other Pd flavors have in fact fixed this bug, specifically pd-l2ork and its successor purr-data. This actually made matters worse, though, since now Pd programmers have to cope with a variety of bendin implementations, which makes it hard to maintain interoperability between the different flavors if you need to process MIDI pitch bend events.
+
+The bendinfix external provides a solution that (1) provides a quick way to check which bendin implementation you have, (2) takes the output of the bendin object and translates it to the correct (signed) range, and (3) is binary-compatible with all modern Pd flavors.
+
+## Synopsis
+
+`[bendin]` takes signed or unsigned pitch bend values and translates them to signed values.
+
+- inlet #1: signed or unsigned pitch bend values, depending on your Pd flavor
+
+- outlet #1: output values are always signed, in the -8192 ... 8191 range
+
+- arguments: none
+
+## Usage
+
+(1) Passing 0 to bendinfix yields the value -8192 for a vanilla-compatible bendin, and 0 otherwise. Thus comparing the result against 0 gives you a flag determining whether you have a signed implementation:
+
+  `[0( --- [bendinfix] --- [== 0]` yields 1 if signed, 0 if unsigned bendin implementation
+
+You can then use the computed flag in a patch to set it up for the pitch bend implementation at hand.
+
+(2) Simply routing the output of bendin into bendinfix yields the correct signed pitch bend values:
+
+  `[bendin] --- [bendinfix]` yields signed bendin values in the -8192 ... 8191 range
+  
+These can then be routed to bendout without further translation, or you can divide, e.g., by 4096, add a MIDI note number, and route the result through mtof to get a pitch bend range of +/- 2 semitones.
+
+Or, if you prefer to work with unsigned values, just add 8192 to the result of bendinfix. This will always give you unsigned values, even if your Pd flavor has a signed bendin implementation.
+

+#X text 12 45 DESCRIPTION translate bendin output to signed values
+for all Pd flavors;
+#X restore 380 335 pd META;
+#X text 18 2 bendinfix - correct bendin values for all Pd flavors;
+#X text 17 41 Background: Pd has a long-standing bug (which won't be
+fixed due to backward compatibility concerns) in that its bendin range
+(0 - 16383) doesn't match its bendout range (-8192 - 8191). The former
+is what MIDI readily yields \, while the latter is more convenient
+for translating pitch bends into frequency offsets. The bendinfix object
+translates bendin's output to the correct (signed) range \, and works
+across all Pd flavors \, including Pd-L2ork and Purr Data where bendin
+returns a signed result by default.;
