Hi Giulio,

That sounds like an interesting project, although I struggle to understand how
it would be used.
Yes it is :)
Actually we are working on a project where we make an extensive use of
nodejs for distributed local applications, so it's worth using this
addon in our case (and that's the kind of scenario for which it was
initially created).
I must admit that for my own use, I'm only launching pd from a node
server and then doing everything else in the patches ...
(I was inspired to do so after trying out the Bela once, so thanks for
the inspiration)
AFAIK, libpd does not search in any of the default Pd paths. It comes with a
`libpd_add_to_search_path()` function that you should use to manually add the
search paths. From the README of node-libpd, among the todos there is :
• re-enable addToSearchPath and clearSearchPath
Thanks for explaining the path issue before I went crazy.
You're right, this is written in the todos of the README, which is a bit
minimalistic ...
So that is probably where the issue lies. In the meantime you can consider just
copying or symlinking your externals to the current folder.
Unfortunately, copying the external to the current folder didn't help,
so I guess I'll have to modify the addon a bit to re-enable the
addToSearchPath method and make a PR.
From my experience of pd, I suspect this should be done at
initialization time, so I might have to modify the addon's api to
provide another json field in the init method instead.
Does this sound right-minded ?
Thanks,
Joseph
Giulio

Hi,
A friend of mine wrote this libpd wrapper for nodejs (which is actually
a work in progress) :
https://github.com/ircam-jstools/node-libpd
It's running fine on a pi3 I'm using ATM.
Now I need to use some externals I wrote, and I can't get them to load
properly.
But, they're loading when I start my test patch using pd itself.
Before diving into his wrapper code, I'd like to make sure I'm placing
the externals in the right path.
What makes me think it should be working is this page :
https://github.com/libpd/libpd/wiki/misc
And also the fact that in his code, he's calling the init() function
from PdBase, which is itself calling the libpd_init() function.
I tried putting the externals into /usr/local/lib/pd-externals,
/usr/local/lib/pd/extra, /usr/lib/pd/extra and ~/.local/lib/pd/extra.
But still no luck ...
Can anyone confirm I'm not mistaken ?
Cheers,
Joseph
