Hi all,
I have decided to leave all in the sources folders in these positions: /home/sources/puredata/pd-0.38-4 /home/sources/puredata/Gem
Copying the content of the "help" folder of Gem in the "5.reference" folder of PD the right-mouse-button on the gem object work fine.
with pd>=0.37 you shouldn't do it like that.
the help-files are searched (additionally, but with a higher priority) relatively to the place where the library was found. so if your Gem.pd_linux is actually /home/sources/puredata/Gem/Gem.pd_linux then the references will be searched in /home/sources/puredata/Gem/help-Gem/*.pd so you could just do a symbolic link from <...>/Gem/help to <...>/Gem/help-Gem/
btw: "make install" should put the help-files into <pdpath>/extra/help-Gem because Gem likes to install its binary into <pdpath>/extra/
The question: how I can hold in different position the help-files of gem from those of pd?
and you can always specify the help-path with the "-help-path"-flag (the only problem is, that Gem's reference patches explicitely have the "Gem/" in their name; so if you specify a help-path "path/to/helppatches", the actual patches should be in "path/to/helppatches/Gem/" (i think...)
