Thanks, it works now, after adding the [declare ...]. I also had to remove the folder name from the object itself (eg, [zexy/limiter~]). So I'll have to modify all my patches, at least the ones that use externals. I can live with that, I guess. And I like 'deken' so far, it makes it much easier to install externals. But doesn't that mean that most, if not all, of the help patches for externals are broken now? Because AFAIK, they don't include declares. It's not much work to add them, but someone just learning PD might not know what the problem is. You just expect them to work automatically.
David.
David, did you [declare -lib zexy] in your patch?
For me it works with Pd 0.47.1 and Win10 so I guess it should work on Win7 too... I can put [limiter~] object without errors after declaring library.

Does deken work under Windows (W 7, SP1, 32-bit, in my case)? I just installed PD 0.47 to try it (I was using PD 46.7, which doesn't seem to have that option, at least in the Windows version). I was able to install 'zexy', with no errors reported, but my patch is still getting "couldn't create" errors. And the 'limiter~' object is also getting the error "limiter~ We need 4 inlets" (this is on the 'limiter~-help' patch!).
Thanks, David.
The last versions are in deken, you may download a package here and
there
from Pd-Extended in a git, but you won't find them all via git, and
the
thing is that whatever is being maintained in a git repo (note that
the
most majority of extended packages are unmaintained) surely has the
latest
package available in deken.
I just say, don't worry about keeping track of git repos, just chek
deken
out... and deken is now part of vanilla, in 0.47-1, just go to "help",
"find externals" and get them...
