When reading about 'Scanned synthesis' in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanned_synthesis I see about the [pdp_scan~] external from 'pdp', but I can't use it... I can still try extended in my machine and it didn't really work back then, I getApplications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/pdp/pdp.pd_darwin, 10): Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib
you need X11 for pdp. iirc, on macOS you can install it via XQuartz. to quote from their homepage:> it forms the X11.app that Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7.
which kind of explains why pdp worked with older versions of OSX, but not with current macOS.
Purr Data can't load it either.
obviously, you still need X11.
The 'pdp' version in deken (0-0extended) doesn't work either and all print the same error.
as expected.
I wanted to check this object out, does anybody know where the source lives and if we can try and compile it?
where all externals lived in the days of yore: the sourceforge SVN <https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/svn/HEAD/tree/trunk/externals/pdp/>a read-only git repository can be found at <https://git.puredata.info/cgit/svn2git/libraries/pdp.git/>
the code hasn't been touched in 12 years, it probably won't compile on modern systems.
Debian still provides pdp binaries, so there's a couple of patches that allow us to build on this platform. find them at <https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/pd/pdp/-/tree/master/debian/patches>
these patches might be very Debian specific (solving problems that only exist on this platform), i have no idea whether they might help building on macOS.
and finally, there's of course the official homepage: https://zwizwa.be/pdp/ gmasdr IOhannes
