Hi Cyrille,

I struggled with that for a long time myself. Unless something changed in 0.44/0.45 the only really reliable solution I found was to *only* use [declare] in a *toplevel* file, and never in any abstraction. So for your layout I would only put a [declare] into "patch.pd" like:

In patch.pd: [declare -path . -path dir1 -path dir2 -path dir1/abstraction1 -path dir2/abstraction2]

Note that the first path that I always set is to the current directory (".") - it's useful to have as well.

Ciao

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a project organised in folder like this :

projet/ dir1/ abstraction1/ foo patch1.pd

dir2/ abstraction2 bar patch2.pd patch.pd

in patch1.pd, i've got a declare -path abstraction1 so that i can use the foo abstraction same in patch2 : declare -path abstraction2 to use the bar abstraction patch1 and patch2 are autonomous.

now, in patch.pd, I want to use patch1 and patch2. when using declare -path dir1, I can use patch1, but the declare in patch1 is relative to the projet directory, not to the dir1, so foo is not found.

when using dir2/patch2, it's the same problem.

i would like that patch1 and patch2 deal with the declaration of path for abstraction there are using. And i would like to be able to use patch1 and patch2 in patch, without having to add declaration. i know that there is a warning in declare help not to do that.

so, what is the vanilla way to organised project like that?

for now, the solution i found is to organised things like this :

projet/ dir1/ abstraction1/ foo patch1.pd

dir2/ abstraction2 bar patch2.pd all/ patch.pd

and using declare -path ../patch1/abstraction1 in patch1. but i don't really like that.

thanks cheers Cyrille
