I have the dll in my Extra folder, and Pd will load the help-csapi_demo.pd patch. But it says "csoundapi~ warning: could not compile," and if I turn dsp on, it tells me "csoundapi~ warning: orchestra not compiled."
Anything else I should have in there besides the dll, the patch, and the csd file?
I found that it will only work for me if I run pd from the same folder as the .csd file. The csoundapi~.dll can be in pd/extras and csound can be in /program files/csound/bin but it seems like csound can't load the .csd unless it's in the same folder that pd is running in, as though pd is passing the path to csound. So to answer your question, you could add a .bat file that runs pd.
