[chuck-users] Trouble with Machine.add() and paths on Windows; listing loaded shreds

[Michael Heuer]

Hello Greg,

I have the best luck with Windows under cygwin

http://www.cygwin.com/

It resolves some of the unix vs. dos path issues, for me at least.  I
then open two cygwin terminal windows and run

$ cd lick
$ chuck --loop

in one and

$ cd lick
$ chuck + import.ck
$ chuck + examples/foo.ck (or whatever chuck script actually makes the music)

in the other.  Machine.add() resolves the file from the current
directory that ChucK is running in.

The first window will show the files that are loaded via import.ck.

...
[chuck](VM): sporking incoming shred: 244 (SubGen.ck)...
[chuck](VM): sporking incoming shred: 245 (SeptSubGen.ck)...
"LiCK imported." : (string)
[chuck](VM): sporking incoming shred: 1 (foo.ck)...

Hope this helps.

   michael
