hey
i just wrote a quick imageCOCOA gem plugin that compiles fine. Im
using cocoas NSImage (not sure if it works). What I have is
imageCOCOA.mm which is objective-C (obviously)...
cool. it's good someone takes a lead here!
would you mind publishing your code somewhere?
(e.g. cloning on github[*], and pushing your code to your personal
repository, so it's easy to integrate once it's done.
when starting PD and getting something like "GEM: image loading
support: SGI" i was hoping to get "GEM: image loading support: SGI
COCOA" ... i am assuming this is whether the plugin has been loaded or
not based on Gem just recognizing that it is there?
anyway. whether the plugin works or not is not the point. i just want
notification that Gem actually sees that its there and at least tries
to load it...
Gem should be pretty verbose on the cmdline about what it does when
trying to load the plugin (supposed it can find it)
maybe im going about this all wrong. so i need advice. this is all
assuming I can just write any old plugin, drop it in the Gem folder
and as long as the plugin is written correctly and find all the
libs/frameworks it needs it will load... or does Gem itself have to be
compiled knowing that a plugin may or may not exist...
no, that's the idea of the plugins.
Gem will simply look for files named "gem_image*.so" and try to load all
of those.
the cmdline should give you some hints though, what goes wrong, if there
is a file named correctly, and it still doesn't show up.
you code will need to have a line like:
REGISTER_IMAGELOADERFACTORY(cocoa", imageCOCOA);
that will actually add the plugin to the plugin-factory.
