A quick and dirty solution to this might be to rename all the external files that are uploaded in the Context deken package (ie. "demux.pd_linux" --> "demux2.pd_linux"). This would solve the problem as far as I can see, although it seems somehow wrong. What are people's thoughts about this?
- appending "2"? and for those objects that already have a "2" appended
(e.g because you took them from a package that included a 3rd party lib), just increment it to "3".hmm...
- renaming the file will just render it unusable: Pd looks for a
specific symbol within the file, and the symbol must match the filename.
Two other points that are worth mentioning:
- Context depends on [initbang] from iemguts 0.2.1. Last time I checked, the deken package for this was only available for Windows, not Linux or Mac.
it's available via Debian for about 19 differenct architectures. and there is a pd-deken-apt package that allows one to install Debian packages via deken (on a Debian system).
anyhow, the reason why i never bothered to upload it was that i figured it would be trivial enough to compile it yourself on anything but w32.
- I haven't used the [declare] object at all, given the warning in the help file against using it in abstractions. Instead, each external is declared in the object name.
then you should upgrade to Pd-0.47 (-1?) and re-read the help-patch.
