hey
i just wrote a quick imageCOCOA gem plugin that compiles fine. Im using cocoas NSImage (not sure if it works). What I have is imageCOCOA.mm which is objective-C (obviously)...
when starting PD and getting something like "GEM: image loading support: SGI" i was hoping to get "GEM: image loading support: SGI COCOA" ... i am assuming this is whether the plugin has been loaded or not based on Gem just recognizing that it is there?
anyway. whether the plugin works or not is not the point. i just want notification that Gem actually sees that its there and at least tries to load it...
maybe im going about this all wrong. so i need advice. this is all assuming I can just write any old plugin, drop it in the Gem folder and as long as the plugin is written correctly and find all the libs/frameworks it needs it will load... or does Gem itself have to be compiled knowing that a plugin may or may not exist...
these are all questions i have after reading johannes "Plug_your_cam-Extending_Gem_the_modular_way" paper which has only gotten me so far...
cheers mark
