pd-0.39.2-extended-test5 is not finding files.
it seems they're partly simply not there: [cyclone/xgroove~] (isn't that supposed to be included?), help files for [bonk~] & [fiddle~] some abs ([bangfilt], [bangfilt2], [binshift], [microtime], [randomix], [reson], [sigdelta]) seem to be missing from /extra/cxc the boids objects don't load the flib objects don't load
and partly they're not loaded, as certain subfolders in /5.reference are not loaded: bsaylor, some objects from creb (eg [blosc~], [biquadseries~]) ekext, ext13 (also some objects wouldn't create: "*_setup" not found), flatspace, ggee
**
or i just don't get it. i'd be happy to keep checking (got to ggee now), if someone can tell me i'm on the right way and it's useful? cheers, robbert
pd itself is platform independant, but some extrernals won't run on all platforms. im guessing you're on osx because the externals you have listed don't run on my osx system either. there are hundreds, probably now thousands of externals that will run for you though...you will surely be able to do what you need to do without the missing externals in your distro/
i understand that, and i'm nowhere near the end of the possibilities--or the knowledge thereof--of the osx distribution. i suppose the objects that don't load are a case of diff-distro. but a number of help files that live in subfolders in 5.ref do not load, even though they're there. a matter of paths? i can work around it by opening them from the Finder, but i'd think they should open the usual way. also, some help files are simply not there in their subfolders ([fiddle~] & [bonk~]. hcs suggested filing a bug report, which i'd be happy to do, only i'd hate calling something a bug that actually isn't. does anyone a way of finding out what bugs are, and what distro-related trouble? has anyone else noticed the help-file issue?

Keep in mind that the paths are not recursive, i.e. they don't go into subfolders. I find this very annoying as well. The reason this exists in only because of nameclashes in externals (so that you can choose which version of [wrap] you want to load, for example). The trouble that this non-recursive searching causes is really so great, I wonder why namespaces aren't used instead (i.e. [iemlib_wrap]). But I've mentioned this before, and since I don't have time to implement it myself I guess I'll have to live with it ;-)
best, derek
What would be very helpful is if you made bug reports on what's
missing, grouped by library. These are the tests that I can think of:
- does the object load?
- does the .dll/.pd_linux/.pd_darwin file exist?
- does the help file load?
- does the help file exist?
I wrote two scripts to automate this. They are pretty basic, but
should make this task easier:
http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/scripts/ load_every_help.sh
http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/scripts/ load_every_object.sh
Feel free to expand on them or whatever proves useful. Thanks for
doing this! This is definitely a big help.

looks like this is a bit over my head, at least at this point... how does this work? i don't actually understand the contents of the script, i'm afraid, and i don't know how to run it--not in the terminal app, it seems.
i'd be happy to look into this with some help, but do take notice of the fact that this is all new for me.
