Can you try on you osx [declare -lib jit_expr] or [declare -lib full/path/to/jit_expr]?

I'm not sure if -stdlib is currently covering the .../documents/pd/externals/* on all platforms.

see https://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files for the paths that -stdlib covers.

there's a discussion here : https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/205

I think there will be no name clashes if you keep your [jit_expr] naming. If you use [expr] it will clash with Pd's [expr].

I have an external I've created that I've put into: /Users/alex/Documents/Pd/externals/jit_expr/

the binary is called "jit_expr.pd_darwin"

xnor-work:~/projects/perfect/center$ ls /Users/alex/Documents/Pd/externals/jit_expr/
LICENSE-parser LICENSE-pd LICENSE-xnor jit_expr-help.pd jit_expr.pd_darwin

In the binary, the externals themselves are named "jit/expr" "jit/expr~" and "jit/fexpr~"

On my work, osX machine, when I [declare -stdlib jit_expr] I then fail to create [jit/expr]

On my home, linux machine, where my external folder is located at /home/alex/.local/lib/pd/externals/jit_expr and appropriately named jit_expr.pd_linux

I succeed to create [jit/expr] after [declare -stdlib jit_expr]

Is this a bug am I not following some naming convention that I should be?

I could see wanting to put my external in a folder called "jit" and then naming them "expr", "expr~" etc but I could imagine "jit" is more likely to collide and so "jit_expr" seemed more reasonable.

maybe I should just call the whole thing "jit_expr", and just call the objects "expr" etc without the prefix in the code and then be able to create [jit_expr/expr] with no declare because it'll be in the stdlib already?

Am I confusing conventions that exist for single binary libraries with multiple objects and binaries with only one?

Either way, should I file a bug that the behavior isn't the same on osx and linux?

thanks,

Alex
