I found a link to the [wintablet] external in this topic (third to last reply) and it works beautifully with my Wacom Intuos S but only in the 32 bit version of Pd. If I'd rather it be working in the 64 bit version of Pd, what are my options? Is it just a matter of recompiling it for 64 bit, or is it not that simple? Has someone done it already? Should I just give up and run the 32 bit version when I want tablet input and send OSC to the 64 bit process?

Hey sorry to bother you ! I'm a french student ( I started pd this year).
I hope you have now solved your problem. I'm trying to use my tablet "one by wacom" by taking the x-axis and y-axis values but I don't know how to get the wintablet object. If you have any ideas could you help me ?

(I'm using pure data64 and purr data)

@Barjory No bother at all. I was unable to get wintablet to run under 64 bit Pd, but I just tested it with the latest 32 bit version and it still works. I see that the hurleur link is broken, so here is the zip file I found and downloaded back then:
wintablet-save-to-pd-slash-bin.zip

Thanks a lot ! I have one more question... what should I do with this file ? Where do I have to put it in order to make it work ? (might be a dumb question but it's never too late to learn hehe)

@Barjory He he he...it's in the title of the zip file: save it to pd slash bin. (I think this is Windows only BTW)

Edit: Oh duh, it's called WINtablet

Okk, so I've put the "wintablet" folder into the bin folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Pd\bin), tried to create the WINtablet object in pure data32 and it's still not working panic. Do you have any titbit ?
Thanks for your kind replies

@Barjory Oh I see, yes, I have the same problem. I just opened the help file in the bin directory and it loaded fine, but it doesn't load elsewhere.

So maybe those instructions are wrong. I just copied wintablet.dll to where Pd puts externals (\Documents\Pd\externals) and it loaded fine. Another thing that worked is to declare the library:

[declare -lib C:\\Program\ Files\ (x86)\\Pd\\bin\\wintablet]

Edit: OK, so I looked into it a little bit, and I think that only wintablet.exe needs to be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Pd\bin. Put wintablet.dll and help-wintablet.pd in \Documents\Pd\externals. If you do those two things you don't have to use [declare] and your patches can live anywhere on your machine. I'm not sure about tabletmidi.pd and tabletmidi.gpd but I think you can ignore them. And to confirm, this is for Pd 32bit 0.52.1.

YAAAAS ! I did what you said in your last edit and it's working ! Thanks a lot ! You're the boss
Have a wonderful life Mr @jameslo !
