Hi William,

You can include all the externals that you need in your distribution.

You know that pd-vanilla will be there and you supply a folder (probably with sub-folders) with all externals (for all platforms if needed).

Then you simply use [declare] 

That`s it.

You can download the zips of the externals with deken or from puredata.info.

Hope this helps,
If you need more clarification on how to do this write back.

Or you are trying to do something that I don't understand.

Salutti,
Lucarda.

Subject: [PD] Determine library dependency tree for a patch?

My idea is, I want to distribute a patch.

But I build my patches with layers of abstractions.

So I want to make a recursive map of the dependency tree,
including any external libraries needed, so I can know
what needs to be included when I distribute the patch.

Has anyone tried this?

I will probably do this with an external program,
probably Perl (not within Pd).

First it seems I really need to understand how to
Pd does conflict resolution in case of name clashes.

Next, it seems one must know the search path.

This is a bit easier on Linux systems b/c it just
requires parsing a flat file.

On Windows it requires parsing the Registry
(which I admit is still a big mystery for me).

On My machine, I am finding the search path here:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1970324843-3388967453-2642309065-1000\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Pd\

npath=12 means 12 directories to search, each being
path1=(path1)
path2=(path2)
...
path12=(path12)

I also find this repeated here:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1970324843-3388967453-2642309065-1000_Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Pd

One question is, where does this strange string come from?
Is this guaranteed to be the same on every Windows systems?

S-1-5-21-1970324843-3388967453-2642309065-1000
S-1-5-21-1970324843-3388967453-2642309065-1000_Classes

Ugh. Anyway, just looking for some general guidance here.

Thanks,
BH
