</div></div>Ok, it's working for me, too. I see significant progress in that (after<br>
having cleared all preferences) I end up with a "working" setup by<br>
clicking myself through the defaults. Things get downloaded to<br>
~/Documents/Pd/externals, which was automatically created added to the<br>
search paths. After installing externals through 'Find externals', I<br>
can load them by [declare -lib <mylib>] and [declare -path <mylib>].<br>
<br>
So, does that mean the [declare]-flags -stdlib and -stdpath are<br>
obsolete now?<br>
<br>
I can't spot any problems with the branch feature/declare-path, but<br>
virtually all of my patches are broken with it because of incompatible<br>
[declare] flags. I like the 'new way' much better, but I wonder what is<br>
a good path to get there. It's actually an easy thing to replace all<br>
occurences of -stdlib/-stdpath with -lib/path. But switching behaviour<br>
from one version of Pd to the next seems bold.<br>
