Well, it is hard to help if you don't post the errors, but again I
advise you to just look for which headers are needed for the functions
that are referenced and add them to the cpp files.  (If that is the
only problem..)

Otherwise, by all means post your results so we can help.  Also, what
OS and gcc version are you using?  I notice that in my Ubuntu 9.04
installation, dpkg reports that the package for stk is at version
4.2.0, so maybe you could get some mileage out of using that
pre-compiled version?

Of course, it's not really expected that an old version maintained to
compile in a newer system, but I'm sure it can be patched to work with
a bit of effort.  However I think it would be instead worth your while
to get those Pd externals working with the latest version of STK.  For
one thing, it includes some improvements for inlining of the tick()
functions, so it would make things a bit more optimized.
