Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to get my head around this problem, and I am not sure the subject
describes it well…:
In an external, I'm writing into a file with:
FILE *fp1;
fp1 = fopen(x->globalpath, "w");
I provide the external with x->globalpath through a message such as "open
/home/user/filename.txt", but I am trying to find a path that would work on both os x
and linux, so that it at least works in two platforms and my help file isn't platform
specific.
I think you might want to check out canvas_open inside g_canvas.c. It
looks like it will hand you back a file descriptor.
If you use that same interface, then in your help file you can just tell
the user it searches the path the same as the rest of Pd.
But I may be misunderstanding what it is you're trying to do.
