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

[Gregorio Gomez]

Hi, Michael:

I did install cygwin but I haven't gotten far enough to start using it because I was able to use the following in The miniAudicle:

Machine.add("/Program Files/ChucK/libs/lick-master/BinaryFunction.ck");

This works on both my 32 bit and 64 bit machines:
Machine.add("/program files (x86)/chuck/libs/lick-master/BinaryFunction.ck");

I will explore cygwin more -- for some reason I've been resistant to installing it despite the fact that I am fairly comfortable with the (linux) command line.

Out of curiosity, what editor are you using to edit your ChucK files?

Thanks for your help!
Greg

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
