Re: [PD] buttonbar plugin under Windows

Hey Gaurav,

Thanks for reporting this bug, I cc'ed the pd-list since it is a topic
of general interest. It seems that the package 'base64' is not
included in the Windows installer, that's why this doesn't work. GUI
plugins will only work with 0.43 or newer, so 0.42.5 won't work. I
put it on my TODO list to see about including 'base64' with the
Windows installer.

dear hans,

hello i wish this small note of mine finds you well. i wrote to you
some time ago. i just wanted to follow up with you on the present
situation -of my endeavour to see the button bar.

i got the button bar from this link http://puredata.info/community/projects/software/buttonbar

i have put the button-bar.tcl in the folders as mentioned on this
web-page http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help- files

i have also been read through the discussion on this link http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg40751.html

when i run the pd 0.43 build 26 feb, i get the following response in
the main pd window... and ofcourse no button bar. i also have the pd
extended 0.42.5 version installed. i am running a windows xp sp3.

i have also posted this on the pd forums at the link http://puredata.hurleur.com/viewtopic.php?pid=22716#p22716

Hey Guarav,

I got Pd-extended 0.43 building on Windows today and am trying to
fix the last issues so that'll run. Please try the nightly build
tomorrow and see if it works for you. But this is not a release, it
is still very much in development.

And post to the pd-list with any problems, and we can deal with them
there. There are many people on that list that can answer your
questions, including me :)

you for sending you this mail.. as it is quite insignificant and may
be a waste to your time.. but i'll be grateful to you if you reply.

would you be able to tell me when will the pd extended 0.43 for
windows be released. I am keen to know as i read that the whole gui
has been made over and this is a big help for the beginners in pd.
will all the elements in the put menu have their own icons and be
available immediately and not in a menu...and there be visible
distinction between edit and play mode etc.

thanks a lot for your time, warm regards, gaurav
