just a word with my debian maintainer hat on: if Pd-vanilla supported double-precision builds, i would like to make these available for Debian and derivatives as well. if i made single- and double-precision builds co-installable (which iÄm not sure yet), it would be as "pd" and "pd64", with pd64 using different default configuration (~/.pd64settings) and search paths (/usr/lib/pd64/extra/). and install all (packaged) externals that can be build for double precision into /usr/lib/pd64/extra/, rather than having phat builds. i don't think we should spend too much time/energy on designing and supporting foolproof phat builds at all (as this is probably impossible without the help from the OS). and the extensions in Pd are already a big mess; any other environment i know that supports loading of binary plugins, uses the OS's default extensions: .so, .dylib, .dll; using non-standard extensions is often *very* inconvenient...so please do not add another one. fgamsd IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU0fxsAAoJELZQGcR/ejb43AIQAJN1RtPrAGBLBjHLblFATRcZ knQ1ZpA9GlDqY8DLNZQGJGWsgjYy4WNbWjtMeXi5VgFByzy6S+ppk50ZFiupiJfL ZtC3hxOXtXITk99IKDtDEabfVAF+PbWsbiTXgNMMZ8UKNqV+oc3cXNFVRZQiXLyL g7qgNH2DE04pQErEJ+aeYjQllQYli3GfiqxIDi/URSmUCmA2ZkCe2JA3zSWNOUQz hE5r+PLOMuPq0+kUd+/ijcdqFtrR2eyMJ3ypCDmBUJswVnO8M63l0Y/cXbeS+PEc yHDkFQBRmJnktJFcfbaNZqJ+LS/UM7UM7TNQwXg4cZh2QnCr6OcYde3yFOoiIjsI 7fbTct1U+u9iZTyO+K2KetTObIPVpDBuhmT4GkMydWAVGcV+wG5zl3+693plRYZu iLQQF3hiZ+Ca9DIbvvDnC7+pWwf1/aB5l7qAYFXUR8tBaW72ubg7mMB7WPFkNWlw I1/3V/P1Z9EsaRnCMgJH/M6+O7g5a02JX0r96m7gLjtbPNf7FgiJ9II3FeGyH2v1 GVKaSXZrC0RNsf+EwAHAh6wVCBFkpI3uMYUVGjDfmmLcfVq5g6wjdlDBI8u31Exh GKDWPAhLRwqIUoM0FF5YlGm7uF6hvco7q7NHrYrnHUI6wBwXPz2SVjYiK6WKcL7O 7POmQ4LVXKSnTDa5Obga =nNyr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
