Do I understand correctly that you're trying to run libpd _without_ the GUI and discovering that you have to copy code from sys_fakefromgui() to get it to work?
Or, rather, are you actually trying to start the GUI up and need to know the path to the GUI files?
In the latter case, I was tacitly assuming that people distributing libpd apps that wanted to be able to use Pd's GUI would bundle the entire Pd GUI package (Wish, pd/tcl, pd/po, probably more) with their installation, as different libpd apps might require different versions.

Hi all,
I started to update my project zpd [1] with the last version of Pd (before testing the new features in libpd) but I don't really understand how the function sys_startgui() should be used and what it does [2] . In the Miller's branch of libpd, the example [3] use a relative path but I don't know what is the path to my application and what should be the target of the path. I asked on GitHub and Dan explained me that I should give the path to the tcl scripts to start the Pd GUI but what if I don't have Pd installed? The solution I found for the moment is to copy the static function sys_fakefromgui() [4] but it's dirty and not very sustainable.
Anyone has a solution? Best,
Pierre
