Hello all,

After a few weeks of reading, researching, and attempting to find a reliable way to compile externals, I have most simple cases working such as the tutorial objects found from the IEM tutorials and Eric Lyon's book on the subject.

However, trying to compile Oggread~ from the pdogg library (https://goo.gl/WvPLnW) results in an external that fails to load in PD, throwing the error:

"oggread~.pd_darwin: dlopen(/path/to/external/oggread~.pd_darwin, 10): symbol not found: _ov_bitrate referenced from: /path/to/external/oggread~.pd_darwin
Expected in: flat namespace"

the reference to ov_bitrate is contained in vorbisfile.h, and as far as I can tell, has been linked and compiled correctly.

I hate to ask for help from a community I've just joined, but I've been struggling with this for a few weeks on my own to no avail, so absolutely any insight or help would be appreciated.

I've uploaded the files in question below. The compiled external can be found in the build folder, and all vorbis/ogg header files can be found in the libs folder.

oggread~ compilation.zip

Thank you,
James

@JamesWN Hi,

My guess is that [oggread~] is too old and not compiling fine with the lib. Why not using [readanysf~] instead? It's much more stable and can decode a lots of codecs.

Cheers~

@EEight,

Thank you for your suggestion. The background to this problem is that I'm working on an external that uses the same Ogg/Vorbis libraries, so I figured if I could get oggRead~ compiling correctly that I could use the same dependencies safely without fear of any other complications when it comes time to compile my own external.

Still though, thank you for the suggestion - I will take a look at the suggested external, although I'd ideally like to know the reason behind the failed compilation.

Thanks again,
James
