Type “missing” in deken`s search bar. Then put all dlls in the pd/bin directory.
while i appreciate the initiative to provide missing system libraries, i think this is the wrong way to do it.
#1 a deken package should be self-contained. if a given deken package lacks a library (e.g. libpthreadGCC3.dll) then it should provide that library itself. (alternatively, deken could be (theoretically; practically i see a number of hurdles) enhanced to explicitely state such dependencies (so installing "foo" would also install "pthreadGCC3")
#2 a deken package must be installable by deken. the requierement to "then put all the dlls into pd/bin" contradicts this. until deken can be told to install into pd/bin, i think that though shall not abuse the deken package system for such things.
i'd therefore rather have the 'missingDLLs' package removed from puredata.info. we *should* come up with a proper solution for the problem though.
