Yes, the library stuff is a mess. I spent a good deal of time
working on import/declare stuff for the 0.40.3-extended release,

top priority right now. What particularly was the problem? Did you try using import or
declare?i don't know - i haven't kept up with the development of the import/ declare/library mechanism, i just use a copy of pd-vanilla with a
custom .pdrc file pointing to an external directory of stuff.to make it go we just added mrpeach to the startup lib preferences...
The idea is to embed the library settings into the patch. In
Pd-0.40.3-extended, if you added this to the patch, it would work for
any Pd-0.40.3-extended install:[import mrpeach]
Or could use Miller's declare, but I don't remember what the state of
the declare bugs were in 0.41.4. It would be something like:[declare -lib mrpeach]
or maybe
[declare -stdpath extra/mrpeach]
.hc
Just to be clear, does this mean if I use [import] in a patch, it becomes incompatible with vanilla Pd? Or can [import] be um, imported into vanilla Pd?
