The way I work when testing is to think about having everything
running smoothly so when I'm inspired, Pd-extended has as smooth a
workflow as possible. Then when I working on projects using Pd, I
don't hit these annoying issues.
As for your abstraction, could you post it here so I can test with
it? Its hard to know what's going on just by a description.

I'm more than happy to contribute, but I remember being even happier
making music. Anyway, I just copied a compiled version of zexy from
an older installation on another computer and that works fine (so
far).But how about this: an abstraction (named wet-dry-mono.pd) in my
working directory of patches loads fine in one abstraction but not
in another - in the same patch.The abstraction that loads wet-dry-mono.pd ok is in that working
directory. The abstraction that does not load wet-dry-mono.pd ok is
in a subdirectory of the working directory, and said subdirectory is
loaded using [declare]. Not sure if those details are significant.On Oct 4, 2011, at 10:19 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@at.or.at

done, otherwise we never have stable builds. Thanks for
contributing! :-D I think only zexy is not working currently. Its
not building right on Windows and Mac OS X 10.5. Everything else
should work, let me know if otherwise..hc

Hans,
I was able to get [declare -path] to work after a little trial and
error with path name syntax.Now, I'm curious what I need to do to get the externals in zexy (&
maybe other libraries - not sure yet) to work at all. For example,
[date] and [time].It's frustrating, sometimes, being just a guitar player and not a
computer programmer.Thanks again,

As far as I know, the latency setting in Pd just sets a maximum
buffer size, it doesn't necessarily translate to actual measured
latency. Try a blind test and see if you can tell the difference,
that'll be a much better test.As for the search paths, you are much better of not setting them
as global preferences. Instead, use the standard install
locations for installing things globally:http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files
And for paths needed for patches/projects, use [declare -path].

Okay, I installed the latest version.
Good news: Pd-extended and my soundcard are getting along the way
they used to. this means setting Pd to 14 ms audio latency which
is not great, but I can live with it.Bad news: Pd is not saving the search paths that I add. I can't
remember if earlier versions required clicking a "save these
settings" kind of thing, but I could find no such option in this
version and at any rate it's not saving the paths.Medium news: while I can deal with the 14 ms latency, Pd vanilla
was working at around 2 ms (unless it was lying to me or
obscuring something - I only tried it with testtone) but I still
can't figure out how to get it to load libraries of external
dlls. I'm just a guitar player and not a computer programmer so
I'm a little slow at this stuff, but if you have a suggestion for
this option I would appreciate it.Thanks for all your work!

Hi .hc,
I was able to get the installer on Windows 7. I was able to get
rid of all the error message by deleting some line in the «path»
and «startup» windows. Mainly, libs that were no more in the pd
extra folder. The only error message I get for the moment is
concerning the pdlua folder (unable to find the symbol of
something like that). I will try to find the bug tonight.Thank's

Ok, after a long time without a decently working Windows
build, I think
we have one that is actually usable. Please give it a try and
let me
know. Here's the zip:
