Hi,
I'm trying to specify a relative path
use an absolute path? [pdcontrol[ to the rescue!

Ok for using [pdcontrol] to obtain absolute paths.
So I did some investigations (Ubuntu 18.04-5, Reaper, latest pd vanilla and camomile v1.0.8-beta)
1) absolute paths for pddir and scheddir work fine, both in pd vanilla and in camomile, when hardcoded as arguments of pd~ box.
[pd~ pddir <absolute path for pd bin>, pd~ start subprocess.pd( | [pd~ -ninsig 2 -noutsig 2 -fifo 20]
works well in pd vanilla, although you cannot send a [pd ~scheddir xxxxx( message. (but if you put pdsched with pd binaries, it's ok)
In my tests, (2) doesn't work in camomile.
- Now a workaround will be to dynamically create the pd~ box with all
hardcoded arguments cooked from [pdcontrol]
