Indeed, its true. That's a tricky problem. I think I got it right this time, I just pushed my commit to github. Basically, I made it so PD_FLOAT_PRECISION is set in m_pd.h based on the bitness of the build, but can be overridden by externally setting PD_FLOAT_PRECISION. So the ./configure flags just serve to force either 64-bit double or 32- bit float, but by default it'll use double on __LP64__ or _WIN64, and float on anything else.
Having this in the m_pd.h header will mean that it'll automatically apply to the externals too, unless overridden.

Hans, there's so many externals in pd-double giving weird output, I couldn't believe it's all wrong in the code. So I searched for a class which is definitely double-ready and which can act as a test class for the build of the lib where it is part of. For cyclone [mean] can do this, see attached patch. It's code is double-ready and does not depend on anything else than m_pd.h. Still it's output makes no sense in pd-double. Apparently, the build rules for the external classes do not include the PD_FLOAT_PRECISION definition.. For this reason, it is at the moment not opportune to announce pd-double ready for testing. If people would really start testing now, a tsunami of bug reports could follow, many of which boil down to this single wrong macro definition. We better avoid such needless administrative hassle. Katja p.s. I was talking about the Pd-0.43.1-double-20111009-macosx106-x86_64.dmg build, which has double precision core. The build in Pd-0.43.1-double-20111010-macosx106-x86_64.dmg crashes at startup on OSX 10.5: Exception Type: EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000 Crashed Thread: 0 Dyld Error Message: unknown required load command 0x80000022 <mean-test.pd.zip>_______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
