<p>@porres Pd-ceammc builds Pd and their externals (for double)

@christof Deken is prepared for that.
"vstplugin~[v0.5.3](Windows-amd64-32).dek". See the last -32
should be -64 for double.</p>

<p>Ah, I didn't realize! That's cool! So that part is already solved

No, you can't. I think you're confusing this with fat binaries
on macOS containing different architectures (which is not
related).<br>
<p>At the moment, there is just no "official" strategy how to
handle double precision externals. Of course, you can compile
externals -DPD_FLOATSIZE=64, but how do you install them next
to single precision externals? How should they be managed by
Deken? These are all still open questions at the moment. There
are various possible solutions, but no consensus.<br>
</p>
<p>On the other hand, we *could* release double precision Pd
without official support for externals. I'm just not sure if
this is a good idea... Personally, think we should first
stabilize the API/ABI.<br>

<div>I don't really get what is the issue though. As I see
it, one can already build FAT externals if they want to.
The fact that none (or very few) libraries are available
or will be shouldn't be an actual concern as well, as I
consider that this is a third party issue. If Pd Vanilla
nicely fully runs in double precision, that should grant
its release as a package binary out there so people can
start fiddling with it, even though they're not using
externals.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I consider more proper is updating the
documentation to tell the difference and also different
behaviour of a particular object (specially array
objects like [tabread4~]), but that can easily be done
and I can take care of that. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I mean, Pd-ceammc has already been shipping itself
with double precision binaries and I understand they're
just using vanilla's core, no code changes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Discussions on new strategies to build external
libraries can happen later and for a next release. And
will probably get more traction once the double
precision beast is out of the cage.<br>
<br>
What am I missing? What doesn't make sense here?</div>

Anyway, I think it's a good idea to start discussing
this again *after* <br>
Pd 0.52 has been released as there are still enough
issues that need our <br>
attention :-)<br>
