[PD] external libraries for Raspberry Pi - how to compile?

Sun Sep 12 11:15:19 CEST 2021

OK, some do create!

I noticed that some objects (the ones that cause trouble for me) are totally
missing.

There is e. g. a [mergefilename-help.pd] object but no [mergefilename.pd],
etc.
Same thing for splitfilename and stripfilename . . .

Others do work - except for the ones that I actually need for starting up my
patch.
How can I get these missing files?

Maybe Pd2Ork would be an option to find them . . .
(Very frustrating!)
