Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: build-system Group: osx Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: megrimm (megrimm) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: abstractions/gemwin.pd couldn't create

Initial Comment: User patches (non-example patches) give error when creating gem abstractions (example: abstractions/gemwin.pd) even when [import Gem], etc is used.

For example, "gemwin ... couldn't create", "gemorb ... couldn't create"

do gem abstractions just need alias's made in parent directory ? although I am assuming there with be conflicts between abstractions and externals/gem-internals such as "gemhead"?

Message: OK. You are correct in that. Although I think the confusion was in the fact that a "make install" (at least on OSX) installs gem to "/usr/local/lib/pd/extra/" rather than "~/Library/Pd/Gem".....

should it or should it not i do not know...

Message: no, you should not need an alias in the parent path.

Gem expects the abstractions to live in the same directory as the Gem-binary (Gem.pd_darwin in your case), and (if properly compiled and installed [*]), will add this directory to Pd's search paths.

if things go wrong, you might want to run pd with "-verbose" flag, to see whether it spits something out regarding it's search path.

what [import Gem] does in don't know.

[*] properly compiled means, that "s_stuff.h" was found during compilation; properly installed means, that _all_ Gem-abstractions (including the special Gem-meta.pd)
