Hallo,

You cheat a bit here: "svn co whereverlibdiris; make libdir", and

know, if help-files in mapping work then - with just your sets
they won't.
And you still have the requirement of putting the directories
mapping and
purepd into a directory in the pd path like "extra", so it's still
four
paths to set, just like I wrote in my first mail.
How about checking whether help files work before reporting the
problem?
I wrote "I don't know if helpp-files work" - but I've tried it now.
You only need to install libdir once. Plus if you use the latest
version
of libdir, then 'extra' can be any folder in the path. I suggest
one of
these:
http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files-with-pd-extended
Okay, here's what I did:
$ cp -a SVN/mapping /usr/lib/pd/extra
$ cd SVN/loaders
$ svn update
$ make (to make libdir.pd_linux)
$ pd -lib libdir -lib mapping
gives this:
...
libdir loader $Revision: 1.8 $
compiled on Apr 8 2009 at 07:46:59
compiled against Pd version 0.42.4.
mapping: can't load library
...
and I still cannot create any mapping object. I was able to fix that
by adding
a mapping-meta.pd file manually (copied from some pd-extended source
on my
disk, could find one in SVN's trunk). Help files still don't work.
According to http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Libdir help-files
have to be
either in 5.reference/libname or next to the object in question.
Both is not
the case the way mapping is laid out and again something, that has
to be done
manually.
That's all pretty complicated for a newbie like me. :)
Luckily the solution is simple: "svn update". Sounds like you are
working with an old copy. The folder "externals/mapping/help" should
be gone, all the help patches in "externals/mapping", and there should
be a "externals/mapping/mapping-meta.pd" file. Otherwise, you're
working with old code.
