The easiest way to get started build Pd-extended is how the nightly
builds are done. Start by getting the source using the rsync method
and then running the build script:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/AutoBuildProcess
The whole build process has lots of hacks and kludges in it, which we
are in the process of disentangling. Two notable efforts along those
lines are the Library Template:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/LibraryTemplate
And submitting lots of libs to Debian:

Other problems with pd from Subversion:

there is no way to scroll.
- I don't have a help browser.
Thanks in advance for your guidance,

Hans,
I think I will stick to the patch format for now. Let me report my
build adventures for the day so that someone can give some advice.
I would like to build a full pd-extended from development source
code.
It seems to be a bit complicated, but I tried at least to build the
stuff I need.
The first problem I got is that the pd built from SVN doesn't runn
off
of /usr/local/bin but only runs from its own source dir. This is what
I did on Pd-svn:
cd pd/pd/src
autoreconf -vi
./configure
make depend
make
sudo make install
Then when I rund pd it just hangs.. Running pd -verbose gives:
Pd version 0.42-5
compiled 15:33:07 Sep 27 2011
port 5403
TCL_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/lib/tcl/library"
TK_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/lib/tk/library" wish
"/usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/pd-gui.tcl" 5403
Waiting for connection request...
... connected
I tried with both wish 8.4 and 8.5.
The way I managed to run it was just through the source dir.
pd/pd/bin/pd
Next, I built Gem from svn (but kinda tailored to the Pd source code
dir since that's what I managed to run):
cd pd-gem/Gem/src
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-pd=$HOME/src/pd/pd
make
sudo make install
Finally, pix_opencv:
./configure --with-pd=$HOME/src/pd/pd --with- gem=$HOME/src/pd-
gem/Gem
make
sudo make install
I noticed pix_opencv installs cleanly onto the Pd source dir but Gem
just insists on using /usr/local no matter what.
I was able to install Pd using gem like this:
cd $HOME/src/pd-gem/Gem
$HOME/src/pd/pd/bin/pd -lib Gem
Not to speak about compiling+installing iemmatrix, which should be
simple, similar to pix_opencv, if only pd would run out of /usr/local
which it isn't.
I appreciate any help, even if just a small guiding remark.

Hey Ricardo,
If you want commit access, here is the process, its pretty simple:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/SVNCommitAccess
We do need work out the flow before you start directly
committing. The rule
of the pure-data SVN is that you need to have explicit permission
to each
file that you want to work on. Usually this goes on a library-by-
library
basis, for example puredata_opencv. You just ask on pd-dev for
permission.
For things that are directly maintained in SVN, it makes sense to
commit
directly there. For things that are maintained in git, then you
should make
your own fork of pd-extended.git, and submit 'git format-patch'
files to the
patch tracker.
Either way, starting by submitting patches to the tracker would be
the best
way to start. There is no barrier, you can do that now.

Hello Hans,
Thanks for the quick reply. We will be targeting Linux, mostly
Ubuntu
11.04.
I would like to develop using a branch in such a way that I can
easily
push the changes to you through patches or by committing. I am a
bit
hesitant to develop a release branch instead of the main branch
directly, since I might be repeating work.
I already talked to the puredata_opencv guys and they are willing
to
let me commit code, as long as I discuss the changes before
modifying
existing functionality.
My username is ricardofabbri just in case, although I totally
understand it might be too early for commit privileges, given
that I
haven't even settled on a workflow.
Best regards,
Ricardo

Hey Ricardo,
This is great news! Yes, its true, the sources are a bit
confusing.
Website updates are a good thing. If you are talking about Pd-
extended,
then all sources are from
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk,
except for
the core 'pd' part, which is from the pd-extended.git. Once we
have the
0.43 release branch, which is soon, then everything will be in
this SVN
branch:
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended/0.43
You can see the 0.42 release branch here:
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/branches/pd-extended/0.42
Which platform are you going to be targetting?

Hi,
I would like to help out with the development of Pd, in
particular
with Gem and puredata_opencv. Please be patient as I am just
starting
with Pd development.
I would like to get some advice from you on how to build from the
develpment sources. I can then update the community website
instructions based on your responses, if you think that'd be
helpful.
I would like to install pd-extended, gem, and pix_opencv from the
development source code.
It seems I should download from Subversion, even though Git is
used
for pd vanilla core and pd-extended core. It seems these Git
repos are
regularly pushed onto Subversion. Is that true?
Now, should I really download from these?
https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk
and
https://pd-gem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pd-gem/trunk
Next, I'd like some up-to-date build instructions based on the
development code base. Again, I am more than willing to update
the
online doc with the info you provide.
I appreciate your guidance on how to contribute. I lead a team
with
computer vision programmers and music composition experts that
will be
heavily developing Pd in the next coming weeks and months.
Best regards,
Ricardo
