Howdy! I just tried installing the Gentoo Pd-Extended Ebuild following these instructions:
http://pd-overlay.sourceforge.net/setup.html The Ebuild compiles cleanly, which is quite cool because looking at the whole thing happening, you realize how much stuff is actually in there! However, I have some problems to report: 1) Is there any reason why JACK support is not included in the Ebuild? I know I could hack it myself and include the USE flag, but I wonder if it was a conscious choice or not... 2) I had to manually do the following: cp /usr/portage/distfiles/svn-src/pd-extended/v0-40/packages/linux_make/default.pdsettings /home/derek/.pdsettings I think this is a common problem with all Pd-Extended packages, that the package manager doesn't do the final step of configuring Pd. Could this be improved? In particular, this is exactly what "etc-update" on Gentoo would be good for, since it allows you to compare and merge changes rather than simply overwrite files. 3) Some libs/objects/abs still don't load, notably Gem, arduino, list-abs, memento, pddp, pixeltango, rradical, jmmmp, pdp, pidip... and I'm sure there are others. Path problem with the pdsettings perhaps? 4) I don't know how stable 0.40 is for me compared to 0.39. I still get lots of unexpected crashes and such on both Linux and OSX. Is there a 0.39 extended Ebuild kicking around anywhere? As usual, help appreciated! best, Derek _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
