Hey Miller

I got it working on Windows by removing the check you mentioned:

diff --git a/src/g_canvas.c b/src/g_canvas.c index fbeef3d..de38e56 100644 --- a/src/g_canvas.c +++ b/src/g_canvas.c @@ -1337,11 +1337,8 @@ static void canvas_stdpath(t_canvasenvironment *e, char *stdpath) { snprintf(strbuf, MAXPDSTRING-1, "%s/%s/", nl->nl_string, stdpath); strbuf[MAXPDSTRING-1]=0;

•    if (check_exists(strbuf))
  

•    {
         e->ce_path = namelist_append(e->ce_path, strbuf, 0);
         return;
  

•    }
  

  }

} static void canvas_stdlib(t_canvasenvironment *e, char *stdlib)

Now, the argument to -stdpath is appended unconditionally to the search paths. There is probably good reason why there is a check, I'm not proposing to remove it. But maybe this is gives you a hint at where things go wrong. Somehow the check always fails on Windows, even if the directory exists, while it works fine on Linux.

Interesting... I can't get -stdpath to work either on wine or in linux.

But I noticed that -stdpath cecks if each directory exists before adding it... therefore perhaps it found 'zexy' and didn't find 'osc' - in that case it wouldn't print anything out aboutosc - it just silently ignores the non-existent directories.

Hi all

I hoped to be able to dig into it myself, but I can't figure out why it is behaving different on Windows compared to Linux.

[declare -stdpath osc] has no effect on Windows. I have 'osc' installed in <pd-path>\extra\osc and when I create [routeOSC /bla], the Pd output looks like this:

tried Z:/home/roman/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried C:/Program Files/Common Files/Pd/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried C:/users/roman/Application Data/Pd/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried Z:/home/roman/pd-src/w32/pd/extra/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried Z:/home/roman/routeOSC.dll and failed tried C:/Program Files/Common Files/Pd/routeOSC.dll and failed tried C:/users/roman/Application Data/Pd/routeOSC.dll and failed tried Z:/home/roman/pd-src/w32/pd/extra/routeOSC.dll and failed tried Z:/home/roman/routeOSC/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried C:/Program Files/Common Files/Pd/routeOSC/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried C:/users/roman/Application Data/Pd/routeOSC/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried Z:/home/roman/pd-src/w32/pd/extra/routeOSC/routeOSC.m_i386 and failed tried Z:/home/roman/routeOSC/routeOSC.dll and failed tried C:/Program Files/Common Files/Pd/routeOSC/routeOSC.dll and failed tried C:/users/roman/Application Data/Pd/routeOSC/routeOSC.dll and failed tried Z:/home/roman/pd-src/w32/pd/extra/routeOSC/routeOSC.dll and failed tried Z:/home/roman/routeOSC.pd and failed tried C:/Program Files/Common Files/Pd/routeOSC.pd and failed tried C:/users/roman/Application Data/Pd/routeOSC.pd and failed tried Z:/home/roman/pd-src/w32/pd/extra/routeOSC.pd and failed tried Z:/home/roman/routeOSC.pat and failed tried C:/Program Files/Common Files/Pd/routeOSC.pat and failed tried C:/users/roman/Application Data/Pd/routeOSC.pat and failed tried Z:/home/roman/pd-src/w32/pd/extra/routeOSC.pat and failed tried Z:/home/roman/routeOSC/routeOSC.pd and failed tried C:/Program Files/Common Files/Pd/routeOSC/routeOSC.pd and failed tried C:/users/roman/Application Data/Pd/routeOSC/routeOSC.pd and failed tried Z:/home/roman/pd-src/w32/pd/extra/routeOSC/routeOSC.pd and failed routeOSC /bla error: ... couldn't create

(The output is actually from Wine, but it really behaves the same on Windows)

There is no mention of 'osc' whatsoever.

On the other hand, [declare -stdlib zexy] works the same on Linux and on Windows.

[declare -stdpath] used to work on Windows in older version of Pd, but I can't tell exactly since when it isn't working anymore.
