I have installed Pd Vanilla 0.42-5.
In /usr/lib/pd, i have /bin, /doc and /extra.
In /doc/5.reference, i have /Gem, /pmpd, /zexy.
In /Gem, i put /abstractions, /examples and /help. In /pmpd, i put /exemples and /help. In /zexy, i put /examples and /reference
I have added path : /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem /usr/lib/pd/extra/zexy /usr/lib/pd/extra/pmpd /usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/Gem/abstractions
All works fine with the externals, but when i try to create [gemmouse], i get in the console : gemmouse, couldn't create.
you should load Gem before using [gemmouse]
gemmouse.pd is in the /usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference/Gem/abstractions. Where is the problem ?
afair, the [gemmouse] abstraction is not functional yet.
Another question : Is it a good idea to put /examples and /help in the same directory (in my case : /5.reference/Gem or /5.reference/pmpd or /5.reference/zexy) ? Or is it better to separate them (like pd-extended) ? When i right-click on an object and ask 'help', Pd search automatically in the /usr/lib/pd/doc/5.reference or not ? Thanx.
the advised way is to put Gem.pd_linux, all abstractions (*.pd) and all the help-files (*-help.pd) into /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem
if you compiled Gem yourself (which i assume), and have compiled it with the full Pd-headers (s_stuff.h) it should be able to automatically find the abstractions. else add /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem to the path.
