I have also tried to change the [declare -path /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else] to [declare -path /root/Bela/pd-externals/else] because the unzip directory was /root/Bela/pd-externals/else
But nothing change: still error "couldn't create".

what do you get with ls /root/Bela/pd-externals/else/above~.pd_linux ? and then find /root/Bela/pd-externals -type d ?

    giuliomoro

    With ls /root/Bela/pd-externals/else/above~.pd_linux
    i get
    ls: cannot access '/root/Bela/pd-externals/else/above~.pd_linux': No such file or directory

    and then with find /root/Bela/pd-externals -type d
    i get
    /root/Bela/pd-externals
    /root/Bela/pd-externals/else

    and with ls -l /root/Bela/pd-externals/else/
    i get
    total 0

    Typing ls -l /root/Bela/
    shows that Else & Cyclone libraries exists

    Typing ls -l /root/Bela/else
    shows Else objects...

    So, I tried [declare -path /root/Bela/else] in my Pd patch, but it doesn't work.

    Now i'm trying, with command lines to place Else & Cyclone libraries in /root/Bela/pd-externals

        sorry I missed a projects in my paths. Should have been:

        what do you get with ls /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else/above~.pd_linux ? and then find /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals -type d and then find /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals -type f | grep pd_linux?

          FatJak Now i'm trying, with command lines to place Else & Cyclone libraries in /root/Bela/pd-externals

          that should be /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals

            giuliomoro

            Thanks again @giuliomoro

            Since few hours, i feel free to make some experiences.
            - I have selected only the .pd objects in my computer Else library and made from it a folder.zip file
            - I have upload/install it in /root/Bela/pd-externals and i modified the main.pd path object to these externals
            - I have discover that there his very few objects that could't be created.
            Here is the list:
            else/fold -1 1
            else/args -
            else/swap2
            else/rand.f -1 1
            else/rescale -1 1 0 127
            s2f~

            I have tryed to make .pd abstractions from these graphical objects.
            It seems not working.
            (kind of bruteforce experimentation)

              giuliomoro

              After cleanup, reinstall as you tell me, this is what I get with
              ls /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else/above~.pd_linux

              /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else/above~.pd_linux

              and then
              find /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals -type d

              /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/build

              /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/cd

              s2f~

              Hmmm... what would I do without this three little seeds ? Nothing, with my "work in progress" patch.
              Thanks @giuliomoro to let me dive deep into the surface of command lines.
              Even if I only understand the reflect of it.

                it seems like you are missing several externals there. This is the full list I get:

                (which includes compiled externals s2f~.pd_linux and rescale.pd_linux)
                and furthermore all the .pd abstraction files, which should include at least /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else/brown.pd.

                I am wondering what has happened there. Try the following instruction step-by-step, please:

                • from the Bela IDE, delete the project pd-externals
                • download this archive on your computer https://github.com/BelaPlatform/Bela/files/10212285/else-v1.0-rc4-93-g0c64c285.zip
                • drop it in your on top of the Bela IDE. When asked the name of the new project you want to create, type pd-externals and click "create project"
                • now create a new project and copy on it a _main.pd file with only these objects in it:
                  [brown] [s2f~] [rescale]
                • run the project and verify that you get no couldn't create errors when you start it

                Note that the procedure above will put all the files in /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals and not in /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else. This is good enough for testing. If this works, you can move them with:

                mv /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals /tmp/else
mkdir -p /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals
mv /tmp/else /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/

                then modify your _main.pd so that it contains only these objects:

                [brown]
[s2f~]
[rescale]
[declare -path /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else]

                and verify it still runs without couldn't create errors.

                  giuliomoro Thanks. There is hope !

                  I don't understand where to upload the else-v1.0-rc4-93-g0c64c285.zip
                  with the information "drop it in your on top of the Bela IDE".
                  If it's on the top of Bela IDE, I don't know how to do it.

                  In the "create new project" section, clearly, I have to select the "Pure data" type ?

                  "Note that the procedure above will put all the files in /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals and not in /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else"
                  I don't understand with which procedure I can avoid to create a else folder unzipping the else-v1.0-rc4-93-g0c64c285.zip

                      FatJak I don't understand where to upload the else-v1.0-rc4-93-g0c64c285.zip
                      with the information "drop it in your on top of the Bela IDE".

                      If you drop the zip archive on the IDE you should be prompted with a dialog to create a new project from the contents of the zip archive itself.

                        "drop the zip archive on the IDE"
                        Crazy. I hadn't thought I had to take it literally.

                        So.
                        Unzipping the file gave me
                        Error opening file render.cpp: file does not exist.
                        But I could see objects in
                        /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals

                        Running the _main.pd with [brown] [s2f~] [rescale]
                        gave me errors:

                            uff right. It seems that else abstractions

                            FatJak else/args -
                            error: ... couldn't create

                            error: ... couldn't create

                            rely on having the stuff in the else/ folder.

                            and this

                            FatJak error: ../pd-externals/rescale.pd_linux: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6: version GLIBC_2.29 not found (required by ../pd-externals/rescale.pd_linux)

                            is because I built else with a too-new version of the board. I am going to redo it on the same version you have.

                                ok I rebuilt it and it is now available . Please follow the instructions below:

                                Try the following instruction step-by-step, please:

                                • download this archive on your computer
                                  https://github.com/BelaPlatform/Bela/files/10228145/else-v1.0-rc4-93-g0c64c285.zip
                                • drop it in your on top of the Bela IDE. When asked the name of the new project you want to create, type pd-else and click "create project". Wait for a few seconds while it is done.
                                • when done, you will get an error "couldn't open render.cpp". That's fine, press "Cancel"
                                • run the following in the console at the bottom of the Bela IDE so that the externals go in the right place:
                                  rm -rf projects/pd-externals;
                                  mkdir -p projects/pd-externals;
                                  mv projects/pd-else projects/pd-externals/else;
                                • now create a new project and copy on it a _main.pd file with only the following objects in it: 
                                  [brown]
[s2f~]
[rescale]
[declare -path /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/else]
                                • run the project and verify that you get no "couldn't create" errors when you start it

                                  giuliomoro
                                  Oh!
                                  No "couldn't create" errors to declare in this test !

                                  AND

                                  No "couldn't create" errors to declare in MY PATCH !!!!!!!!! !

                                  THANKS YOU SO MUCH @giuliomoro
                                  I would like to offer you a beer !
