As IOhannes says the hope is that somehow externals can simply be dynamically loaded from vst plugins at runtime.(I think I heard camomile might have some other limitations for this with permissions or something right now anyways) an example is plugdata https://github.com/timothyschoen/PlugData which is based on camomile. it would be great if users of the plugin wouldn't have to go about compiling their own externals and/or compiling the plugin themselves, if those other issues are resolved. -seb Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 17:45:41 +0200 From: Dan Wilcox danomatika@gmail.com To: pd-dev pd-dev@lists.iem.at Subject: Re: [PD-dev] call for discussion double-precision file extension I lean much more on the side that PDINSTANCE is a low-level, per project compile option and not general-purpose. If you are using libpd, then your environment is a bit more custom anyway.

I wonder if anything should be considered for multi-instance support as well (externals compiled w/ PDINSTANCE)
good question.
afaict, there are no plans to ever ship binaries Pd with PDINSTANCE=1 (but i have no idea, really).
can we expect developers of PDINSTANCE-enabled (lib)Pds to also provide the binaries for the extrenals? i guess it would be nice if you (as a patch-developer with a compiler-allergy) could just install whatever externals you want to be included with your camomille-based VST plugin.
