Hi Hans-Christoph,

Unless there is something very wrong with this release, this will
be the final release. Then it'll be posted up on SourceForge as
Pd-0.38.4-extended.I tried it, works fine besides some issues:
- The start up libs can't be removed (add a lib once and never
remove).
From the preferences? Try deleting the preferecnes file. Which
platform?Windows 2000. I think the settings are saved in the registry and
there's no preferences file, isn't it? I know this bug from Miller's
0.39 and it was fixed for 0.39.1 or .2 (not sure about it...)
- I can't load the sndfile object (the threaded soundfile by g.
Holzmann): load_object: Symbol "libsndfile_setup" not found lib/libsndfile: can't load library No idea why...
Georg cleared up the problem - it works for >= 0.39 only
- I can't find the iemlib. What should I load instead?
The iemlib objects are compiled as individual objects and are
directly in "extra", so no need to load a lib.I see. This requires parsing all patches I use for all objects I use
from the iemlib and change my start up files :-( I think you have good reasons to leave the common concept of libraries
- loading single objects can be advantagous in some cases. Would you
mind to include the iemlib as a library in your distributions,
additional to the individual objects of iemlib in /extra? (did you
really compile them _all_ separately? WOW!). This would give us a kind
of backward compatibility and let you include the concept of single
objects. The price for this solution would be an about 200kB bigger
distro, which I think is affordable. And more work for you, of course
:-)
The issue of single-file objects vs. multi-file libraries has been
talked about at great length on this list, I am not going to revisit it
now. I am not going to work with multi-file libraries anymore, but
anyone else is welcome to do the work.
In the future, the IEMlib objects will be included as a libdir
(http://puredata.org/docs/developer/Libdir ), like the rest of the
libraries in Pd-extended. But I can't say when that future is just
yet.
