On GNU/Linux and Windows, -stdpath work like this: [declare - stdpath ../extra/<somedir>]. On Mac OS X, you need to omit the "../", i.e. [declare -stdpath extra/<somedir>]. Since that means that [declare] with -stdpath has broken behavior, I want to suggest a change that would make it more intuitive but would break on all platforms:
Right now, I don't see any reason why -stdpath should include the "../ extra" part. Since all externals have been included in "pd/extra" by convention for a long time, it seems to me that it would make the most sense to make -stdpath relative to "/path/to/pd/extra". (I remember many years ago some people using an 'externs' folder, but I haven't seen/heard that in years). This would make the above [declare] like this: [declare -stdpath <somedir>] I think the same would apply to -stdlib: [declare -stdlib <somedir>] .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits. - Martin Luther King, Jr. _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
