hello,
just to clarify, other than the [declare] stuff, is the main problem placing "msvcr71.dll" in the Gem folder because it is missing? do we know the reason?
i was just helping someone this morning on win10 / pd 0.47.1 / Gem and had the same problem... unable to load Gem. i ended up just telling them to install pd-x which worked fine (so far i assume).
cheers m

Thanks for clarifications IOhannes! I would really prefer to not declare anything with specific path references like this one with the Gem-0.93.3 folder. I understand it will induce problems if shared and if drives/sticks changes places, OS´s. The reason the versioned folder got there was due to the suggestion from Oliver to unzip all Gem.zip into the "extra" folder, which I did and got it there. I also tried to set path preferences (from menu - File-Preference-Path, also File-Preference-Startup, but it seems that neither of them are remembered after restart of Pd.
Will try to rename the versioned folder to just Gem.... instead of Gem-0.93.9 so to get rid of the dependecies. I hope it will work like that.
Guess I was happy that Gem finally started to work on this machine I am at, so didn´t see the fatalities of the versioned folder. (why is it anyway included in the zip-file if it causes this instabilties?)
All the best! Björn Eriksson

In the patch I do have to [declare -lib /Gem-0.93.3/Gem] or with direct path where Gem is installed, on my external harddrive that is [declare

well, that sounds like a bad layout. the point of using [declare] is to create patches with dependency information that is platform independent and sharable.
for instance it makes little sense to use [declare -lib D:\bjoern\Pd-Projects\Gem-0.89\Gem]: while it might work, the patch will break as soon as you give it away (or port it to another computer, that is not running windows ANDOR has a cd-drive occupying the "D:" letter rather than yoiur USB-stick ANDOR has a different filesystem layout ANDOR ...
sp, if you put your externals into extra/, then you shouldn't use version-prefixes. if you do want to organise the directories the way you like, use the preferences to add additional paths.
e.g. extracting Gem to D:\bjoern\Pd-Projects\Gem-0.89\Gem\ you could add "D:\bjoern\Pd-Projects\Gem-0.89" to your search-paths (in the Pd-preferences) and then use [declare -lib Gem] in your patch. then, if you want to migrate the patch to another machine, install Gem to /home/bobby/projects/2018/external-pool/Gem/ and add "/home/bobby/projects/2018/external-pool" to your Pd-preferences. then run your patch. without any modifications!
