Hi there:

My apologies for this late reply. I am still a bit preoccupied with configuring Gentoo at the moment. I have been "shaving yaks".

...

While reinstalling my system, I have encountered this problem with [originator] in the memento of rradical abstractions.

Because there is a [prepend RRADICAL.dummy] in the originator.pd and although I have a [prepend] but its not the right [prepend] wanted by the [originator]. As far as I know, there are at least 2 [prepend] our there.

I did a quick work around using [pack],[symbol] and [route], which seems to work so far and it eliminates the [prepend] dependency. Please see the attached patch.

This only works for (re)storing single floats, it does not work for storing symbols and it cannot work for storing lists of unknown length, which is the main reason I need to use prepends there.

Argh, I did not think that far. I knew its not that simple......

chun lee: maybe it helps you out of your [prepend]-nameclash-confusion.

for me, it behaves like i would expect it from a [prepend]-obj (it's not nice code, but i think it works)

it needs some zexy-objs: glue, a2l, lister.(i hope everyone uses zexy)

Thanks for the patch, but I think having a single "iem_prepend.pd_linx" built as suggested would be a better way.

...

i made an prepend_alternative-abstraction, because i don't want to use a whole library only for one object (for a project with different pd-users i'd like to keep the number of involved libs as low as possible).

If you just build the externals from CVS using the "build" system installed there, you get the "right" prepend as a single external. No need for libraries at all then, just the standard CVS externals. Iemlib-prepend is build as iem_prepend.pd_linx(dll...) there.

Sure, I will look into doing that.

In my experience: If Pd crashes, when someone is trying to use Memento/RRADical, then that someone has some old ggee prepend installed. If Memento doesn't work as expected, then he is using iemlib as a locally installed library instead of the CVS version of iemlib so that iem_prepend "overwrites" the CVS prepend.

Umm, I got all the sources individually from each project web sites this time. Maybe I will try using the cvs next time round. Do you use CVS for everything?

Cheers
