tim just sent me fixes for building on freebsd, so I'd like you to try it and if you need help you can talk to us https://github.com/porres/pd-else/pull/2215/commits/6e5730bc0eb5d282231d75de8927c9e44c7dabb5

hi, not sure I can help adding support to build for freeBSD seems unlikely, but maybe I can help you compile it yourself? shouldn't be that hard

sorry for deleting the messages, long story, big drama.

Anyway, I was able to fork and compile unauthorized for apple silicon. If someone really needs it, I can send the source code and instructions., or the binaries, or something.

can you open an issue at https://github.com/porres/pd-else ?

I want to offer an actual good compiled object for compression... just not in my table right now, but it's on the shopping list

@jo said:

has this external been abandoned?

yup, totally, though purr data still carries it?

you and anyone else should just forget about it though.

"ELSE" has play.file~ and sfload that deal with MP3s and other formats

you can have a GUIless playlist alternative with [else/dir]

cheers

hard to tell what you're doing wrong when we don;t see the patch, specially if you say it works in the help file, which implies the object is working.
