[PD] Trying to get GEM going on Pd Vanilla / Win10

[Björn Eriksson]

Hi list!
I am trying to get GEM onto Pd Vanilla on a Win10 machine.

I have installed both from deken and from http://gem.iem.at/ without
particular good result. I get [gemwin] and [gemhead] to be able to be
created in patches after I have [declare -stdpath Gem]. One of the problems
that are present are that all other Gem objects seems not be able to be
created. Like [pix_film], [rotateXYZ] and all the others.
When I look in the library installation folder
(user\AppData\Roaming\pd\Gem) I cannot see any dll´s from for instance
[pix_film] and others, but there is pixfilm-help.pd file nd help files for
the others. Maybe this is as it should be, but I am confused. I also tried
to get freetype fonts into Pd Vanilla, but I am really unsure on how to do.
(this was suggested somewhere that it might be needed). I am searching
everywhere for solutions, but I am probably missing out some obvious here.
I was even declaring iemlib, as this was some hint I was given in some
forum.
Now I was thinking in lines of that I might have to compile binaries myself
to get it going, but I am stepping over a knowledge threshold there. And I
hope there is other solutions out here...

Here is some threads I stumbled over in my search - that might be of help
to someone:

http://gem.iem.at/documentation

(at same time GEM in Pd Extended is working for me - but I really do want
to switch to Pd Vanilla)

All the best,
Björn Eriksson
