Hi list,

Having tried to find the hid external library via "Find externals..." on OS X without a result. How would I use the library on OS X? Pull it out of Pd-extended?

all those "v0.0.extended" libraries you see have been pulled from the last release of Pd-extended. so that has already been taken care of

Would that work with Pd-0.50.0 64bit?

which one?

*this* one will work on Linux/amd64, so yes: it is supposed to "work with Pd-0.50.0 64bit" (on Linx obviously).

the macOS list is:

hid-v0-0extended-(Darwin-i386-32)(Darwin-PowerPC-32)-externals.tar.gz Uploaded by zmoelnig @ 2015-12-10 14:20:38

this will work on macOS/i686 and macOS/PPC, both of which were 32bit architectures. so no dice for "Pd-0.50.0 64bit"

and I wonder if that is the latest version?

given that nobody has worked on [hid] for...ages, i'm pretty sure that this is the latest version.

Would it furthermore make sense to compile it from SVN for Linux?

to achieve what?

if you are only interested in Linux, then you can do "apt install pd-hid". if you meant "Darwin" instead of Linux, then yes, it's worth a try. it's also quite possible that you can no longer compile it on modern macOS.
