You got the slashes going the right way!

I use a batch file to run pd and gem and in it I use gem and not Gem

The capital G might be a problem... what error message do you get.. It loads the dll and the main dll function in direct relation to the file name

It is easier if you create a batch file with the command

I:\pdforwindows\bin\pd.exe -path I:/pdforwindows/bin/ -lib gem

afterwards you can easily add more externals like

I:\pdforwindows\bin\pd.exe -path I:/pdforwindows/bin/ -lib gem -lib zexy

but if I were you I would move all the external libraries and objects into the externs folder and use the following launch command just for (because there already are a lot of useful externs in thos folders)

c:\pd\bin\pd.exe -path c:/pd/externs/ -path I:/pd/extras/ -lib gem -lib zexy

still no go. this is probably my 4th time trying to get this to work in windows but it just doesn't want to. the machine i'm on could have something to do with it because it's all locked up and i don't have admin priviledges.

what i learned today is that i don't need to compile on windows because i can just use the Gem.dll. the problem with that is you have to install the GEM sources anyway because that's where the tutorials and demo patches are right? other than that i can't link to the Gem.dll with any of these methods i've tried from the Run and Command programs (and yes i put the Gem.dll in the bin directory)

\pdforwindows\bin\pd.exe -lib /pdforwindows/bin/Gem I:\pdforwindows\bin\pd.exe -lib I:/pdforwindows/bin/Gem
