Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Bryan Jurish (mukau) Summary: string2any missing from Pd-extended on Windows

Initial Comment: string2any doesn't load on Windows, perhaps its missing. I don't have a Windows machine to test on, but I have seen this on other people's machines.

Message: oops, I forgot to mention, you need to load 'moocow' first, so like:

[moocow/bytes2any]

or [import moocow] [bytes2any]

Message: ... oops, my fault: I removed any2string, string2any, and sprinkler from flatspace a few months ago, since the duplicates seemed to be causing some confusion. See the pd-list archives for August 2008:

http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-08/064506.html http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-08/064512.html

I still maintain that the windoof autobuild machine has a broken version of make, and that v3.79 is not broken in that sense.

I also have no windows machine on which to test, so it's a bit difficult for me to support that platform. I see 3 possible solutions at the moment:

1) someone fixes the make on the autobuild machine (opinions, Hans?) - variant "1b": I call an alternate un-broken make from the "moocow" snippet of externals/Makefile instead of using $(MAKE).

2) I stop using macros in externals/moocow/extended/Makefile; possibly even generating windows-specific makefiles for each subdirectory of moocow/ - ugly, time-consuming, and harder to maintain

3) I (or someone else) place any2string and string2any (and maybe sprinkler) back into flatspace - redundant, confusing, help files don't get installed, mismatched versions, ...

Of these, (1) and (3) would be easiest for me. I don't care much for (2)... I could deal without the macros on this scale, but they sure are handy...
