Pd looks -first in the directory containing the patch, then in directories in its -"path." Pd will then add whatever object is defined there to its "class list," -which is the set of all Pd classes you can use. If all this works, Pd then -attempts again to create the object you asked for, this time perhaps -successfully. There is no difference between an object defined this way and an -object built into Pd. - -<P> Once you load a new object into Pd, it's there for the duration of your Pd -session. If you load another Pd document which supplies a different version of -some Pd object, the object won't be updated. IF you're working on a new object -and decide to change it, you have to exit and re-enter Pd to get the change to -take. - -<P> In the "externs" subdirectory of the documentation you -can find simple examples of "externs" with their source code and test patches; -there are many other on the web (see <a href="x1.htm#s2">section 1.2 </A>). - -<P> Iohannes Zmoelnig has written an excellent guide to writing externs at -<A href="http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/"> - http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/</A> . - -<P> A paper by Theo Stojanov on the subject is at: -<A href="http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~theo/html/audio/pd_externs.pdf"> -http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~theo/html/audio/pd_externs.pdf </A> . - -<P> NT HINT: In NT, Pd is compiled using Visual C 6.0. If you have VC 5.x -your externs won't compile against Pd; you'll get an error about "disk full -or bad DLL." Simply recompile Pd under 5.x and the problem goes away. Externs -compiled under 5.x and 6.x are binary compatible; it's just the compilation -that's sensitive. - -</BODY> -</HTML> |
