Re: [PD] vanilla, extended, svn and x86_64
Hey El Jay, The best thing to do would be to break up your makefiles into patches using either 'diff -uw' or 'svn diff' and submit them to the patch tracker. They should be organized by library, since different people maintain different libraries. .hc On Sep 24, 2009, at 6:17 PM, el jay wrote: hello i have recently built pd -extended for debian 64 unstable(sid) using 2.30 rt kernel-- i can give you some advises.. pd builds without anyproblem.. the extended packages most build ok.. so of them require changing the flags...and some packeges directly didnt build...(i guess you can live with out them, i do :-) ) if you need help i can send you the altered make files... one problem i had wasnt able to compile a .deb file to install.. so i had to manually install pd coping the files form the src folder to there respective /etc and /lib folders.. 2009/9/24 Pierre pie...@314r.net Hi, thanks to this script : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pd-extended-svn/pd-extended-svn/PKGBUILD I have now pd-0.42.5-extended and a lot of libs running on x86_64 ! nice :) good to hear!

Hi all, I'm new in this community. I helped a little bit to organize the PDCon 09 in São Paulo, and Iḿ getting more involved with Pd since. This is just to say that I've installed 64bit Ubuntu two months ago, because I have a 64 Turion Acer notebook. Nothing worked properly, so I've changed to 32bit version and everything seems fine up to now.

Re: [PD] vanilla, extended, svn and x86_64
Hi IOhannes, Maybe Iḿ too new in this so, I I haven't been able to find the solutions at that time, but I could not make my wireless connection work, and PD extended also was not working, and my memorie is that I've lost precious time during the conference re-installing it to 32 bit and making it work. Probably if I was more experienced it would have worked out better. However, as un-experienced as I may be, when I installed the 32bit version everything is working fine -- Iḿ mostly working on Ubuntu in all my activities, including Pd. best s On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 11:23 AM, IOhannes m zmoelnig zmoel...@iem.atwrote: sergio basbaum wrote: Hi all, I'm new in this community.

Re: [PD] vanilla, extended, svn and x86_64
Hi Hans, dmotd As far as I know, there are no 64-bit issues with the core of Pd-extended 0.41.4. Not all libraries work at 64-bit yet though. good to know ! the fact that some libs don't work is (I think) not a big problem for me... The more people who use 64bit means more people finding and reporting bugs, so they can be fixed, so I am glad you are taking this project on. yes, and also it would be very good if pd-extended was avalaible in x86_64 platforms You could start with Pd-extended 0.42.5, which has not been released yet, and is a bit rough. thanks to this script : http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pd-extended-svn/pd-extended-svn/PKGBUILD I have now pd-0.42.5-extended and a lot of libs running on x86_64 ! nice :) - to build pd-extended do i need to download all svn repository ? (~6Go ) - what is the simpliest way to compile pd-extended on x86_64 First setup your machine with the packages you need: http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Debian Then do this: svn co https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended/0.41 cd 0.41/packages/linux_make make install make package Then you'll have a .deb to install. Also, search puredata.info for 64 bit, there are some specific wiki pages about that topic. Ok If i see that 0.42.5 is not stable enought to do a live show I'll return to 0.41 But for now I'll continue testing my patches with 0.42.5 thx all, for your work !
