Thank you. I found a discussion so I'll check that out. I'll have to take a decision here because I'd like to be consistent in my patches regarding the use of namespaces and external objects.

Hello. I'm having some trouble trying to load zexy and iemlib into PD Vanilla 0.46-7. I had no problems compiling and installing cyclone from https://github.com/electrickery/pd-cyclone. It works fine. So I tried installing iemlib and zexy from https://github.com/iem-projects/pd-iem using their binaries but there's something wrong going on. When I turn on "verbose" under path preferences, PD seems to be looking for a file with the same name as the object I'm trying to use. Using [zexy/multiplex] in a patch gives:

tried ~/Library/Pd/zexy/multiplex.d_fat and failed
tried ~/Library/Pd/zexy/multiplex.pd_darwin and failed
tried ~/Library/Pd/zexy/multiplex/multiplex.d_fat and failed

But there's no multiplex.d_fat only zexy.d_fat. Same with iemlib, there's no dollarg.d_fat or dollarg.pd_darwin only iem_mp3.d_fat, iem_t3_lib.d_fat, iemlib1.d_fat, and iemlib2.d_fat. I'm guessing these files are where the externals were compiled in.

I tried using deken and iemlib installs the .pd_darwin files but I guess this is an older version(?) and zexy is still installing zexy.d_fat so I can't load its objects.

I also tried loading the lib "zexy/zexy" under startup preferences and it loads ok but then I get messages like:

warning: class 'abs~' overwritten; old one renamed 'abs~_aliased'

and I seem to loose namespace functionality, I can no longer refer to [zexy/multiplex] and need to use only [multiplex], which I guess is the correct behaviour.

How does PD know how to look for objects on files with different names?

Any advice?

This thread is marked as solved http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/9677/having-trouble-with-deken-plugin-and-zexy-library-solved and sounds like a similar problem but I haven't been successful.

I hope my english doesn't suck.

Thanks!
