I use a Debian package of PD, and compile some stuff, but I pick in your compiled pd-extended externals often. Congratulations on the great job.
Thanks, its actually the collected effort of many, many people. I guess I am the most visible since I most recently put a big chunk of work in.
I do not understand your loading of folders as libs (like toxy, cyclone, hid, etc..). Is this a kind of hack so that Pd searches those folders for the external?
Yeah, is a hack I call libdirs that I plan on developing further into a generic library format for objects written in any language, C, C++, Pd, C#, python, whatever. This would be in conjunction with Thomas' loader extension and things like the Common Language Runtime API for Pd that was recently announced.
Here is some documentation about the idea and what's actually implemented:
Once Pd goes up a version I will switch to you pd-extended and try to help.
Excellent! The more, the merrier :)
