Hi

Samuel described how to load libraries. Externals are loaded automatically the same way abstractions are loaded.

This means you can put the externals in the same folder where your patch is and pd will load it.

Another possibility is to put is into the "extra" folder of the pd distribution (this folder is searched automatically for externals) or you can choose your own folder to put your externals and add that with the -path command line switch

pd -path c:\myexternals

Greetings,

Guenter

Hi,

You have just got to put the file in a directory ( for instance "externalDirectory" ) and next, you run pd with the command line :

C:\audio\pd\bin\pd.exe -lib c:\ pathTotheexternalDirectory \ name of the external without the extension ( external.dll become external)

or you can make a bat file to run each time pd with all your externals

Hi there, Can anyone tell me where I can find instructions on how to use/import?

externals in pd. I've found lots of externals on the web that do exactly what I want but there seems to be no info at all on how to actually use them... ???

Im running on both Windows 2000 and xp pro. Thanks

when i installed the 0.37 osX test10 (using hans auto installer) i really enjoyed (great work everyone) mainly because the new 'Media' menu allows me to use an external audio input like edirol UA-3 (impossible before)

BUT i can't use anymore some objects like shoutcast~ 8(

should i recompile some externals or do i have to complain to the external author 8)

Have you tried a newer installer? The one up on pure-data.org is based on the release version of Pd, 0.37-0. [shoutcast~] isn't part of the installer because its not in CVS. Which version of [shoutcast~] are you using? My guess is that it hasn't been ported to 0.37 yet, since there were a few signifigant changes.

An easy way is to use the new installer that I just created and it'll install lots of externals for you:
