Pd-libraries loading #40

Open umlaeute opened 10 years ago

umlaeute commented 10 years ago

the Pd that is used by WILMAsm does not use Pd's standard search path. this basically means, that one cannot use pd- package with WILMA.

this is what i get when trying to load "iemlib":

tried ./iemmatrix.l_arm and failed tried /home/iem/pd-externals/iemmatrix.l_arm and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd-externals/iemmatrix.l_arm and failed tried /usr/lib/WILMA/extra/iemmatrix.l_arm and failed

probably the best way would be to make /usr/lib/WILMA/extra a symlink to /usr/lib/puredata/extra

this still leaves default plugins like expr unavailable...

also it would be great to have at least these libraries installed by default:

a better solution would be to symlink everything in /usr/lib/pd/extra (and /usr/lib/puredata/extra) to /usr/lib/WILMA/extra

alternatively patch Pd so that it also looks in /usr/lib/pd/extra (and /usr/lib/puredata/extra)
