[PD] What version of GEM should I use with pd 0.43-0 vanilla

[patko]

pd binary needs msvcr71.dll to load gem certainly because it has been compiled with visual studio, 
it's funny because when it was about using cygwin to compile things, we stopped because we had to add cygwin-1.dll...

anyway just copy and paste msvcr71.dll to your vanilla bin dir and it should be able to load gem dll unless it mlisses other dll's, we never know :o)
or put this dll to your windows/system32 folder, to share it with both versions, but personaly I don't like to put things in this folder, because it sometimes create problems in other applications.

I also don't use libdir, I really find it complicated, conflictual, and useless, you just need to put the external folder name before external name like this:


[flatspace/prepend] or [cyclone/prepend] or [cxc/cxc_prepend]or [iemlib/iem_prepend]

that's why I also never use abstractions that use externals without namespace, or that use externals at all, unless the abstraction is packaged with the external itself, like in gridflow for example, or unless the external is in extra folder.
