In some recent and proposed updates to declare and the loader, the movement is toward being able to load both compiled and abstraction libraries without having to use both -lib & -path, but we are not there yet:
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/440 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/440> In many ways, -stdpath and -stdlib is legacy but of course will most likely not be removed or explicitly deprecated unless there is a real need. It is however highly encouraged *not* to use them, ie. no longer having users manage stuff inside the macOS Pd .app bundle. In your case with netpd and bundled resources, then I imagine they are still quite useful. :) > On Feb 16, 2021, at 2:37 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2021 14:37:19 +0100 > From: Roman Haefeli <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > To: Pd-List <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > Subject: Re: [PD] list item picker widget - [declare] lib paths > Message-ID: <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Thanks for the full picture, Dan. > > I guess the main point is that when Pd users go along the defaults, > they need patches to use -path and -lib. > > Even more, -lib and -path _also_ work for stuff installed in any of the > standard search paths like <pd-dir>/extra.
