Hi Jamie, thanks for the clarification. I tend to think that Miller's version is the most widespread, which is what causes my grief (as more than one of any flext-based externals don't work there at the moment)
best greetings, Thomas

Hi Jamie, thanks for the explanation, but the it's a fact that NsLinkModule is still in Miller's version and it would be very interesting to know whether NSLINKMODULE_OPTION_PRIVATE can be re-included without disadvantages.
...as the bug report stated, the private option prevents gem2pdp/ pdp2gem/pix_2pdp and possibly pidip in general from working, so I'd say that's a disadvantage...
As it is now, it's a real blocker for flext-based externals.
...ok, well, in thinking further about it, I can say that since the dlopen changes are in my pd++ and hans' installers, I know that I can report using xsample, pool, and dyn~ without problems: so which flext-based externals are causing grief?
...as far as inclusion in miller's, he rarely seems to have a mac on hand to test things to his satisfaction, so he absorbs things slooooowly ;-) Not necessarily bad, tho, because this kinda acts as a buffer against possible probs...

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: puredata Group: bugfix Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Thomas Grill (xovo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: OSX/pd 0.39: fix for loading externals using static libs
Initial Comment: Hi all, unlike with pd 0.38, externals that share equal symbol names (like when they have been compiled using the same static lib) won't get loaded, but rather bail out with a "linker error". This can be easily fixed by including the NSLINKMODULE_OPTION_PRIVATE option in s_loader.c
ret = NSLinkModule( image, filename,NSLINKMODULE_OPTION_BINDNOW | NSLINKMODULE_OPTION_RETURN_ON_ERROR | NSLINKMODULE_OPTION_PRIVATE); Is there a reason this has been taken out in pd 0.39?
best greetings, Thomas

...this was kinda covered in the bugtracker last year: "[ 1082938 ] sys_load_lib() on OSX too limited?" https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? func=detail&aid=1082938&group_id=55736&atid=478070
...I'd like to suggest we ditch the NSLinkModule() stuff on OSX, as it's been deprecated since 10.3.x: the replacement is (drumroll please), dlopen()! As a matter of fact, hans and I have been using a patch to do just this in the most recent development releases: it's currently available in /packages/patches/darwin/darwin_dlopen.patch, which I would attach, but it's not letting me atm...
...also, I strongly suggest that we make another change in the building of externals, from bundles to dynamic libs: -dynamiclib -mmacosx-version-min=10.3 -undefined dynamic_lookup (or suppress)
...this works for everything I've tried, but admittedly I haven't done it with all externals or flext...
