An example patch is always very helpful, especially if it triggers the
problem every time that it is run.  Ideally the example patch would have
only enough objects to cause the problem, but nothing else.

[PD-dev] DesireData's ./configure

2006-11-22 Thread Mathieu Bouchard


I started DesireData's build scripts by modifying Miller's 0.39 scripts to make 
them more like devel_0_39's SCons files except that there are only made for 
building DesireData and not the standard devel_0_39 branch.


Then I made a few extra changes:

 * Tcl doesn't need to be detected, because DesireData doesn't compile
   with libtcl. The t_*.c files are not used in DesireData because they
   correspond to features that we already can do in two lines of Tcl since
   longer than Pd existed.

 * I removed the setuid feature because Pd isn't a proper setuid app, as
   it doesn't make any checks to prevent the user from abusing the access
   it gets. I don't see why anyone should use this feature. Login as root
   if you want to login as root.

 * Portaudio 18 is no longer supported.

 * I'm cleaning up the detection of JACK and other audio stuff. Somehow,
   some lines about JACK come in 4 or 5 copies in Miller's configure.in,
   and they look as if they were generated by a script because it really
   doesn't look like anyone would ever write code like that. Anyway - it's
   gone now. I'm going to finish the work on this soon.

 * to be continued.

Good idea: I would even suggest that this feature is dropped from
Miller's Pd as well (on Linux at least, I don't know other OSses
anymore) as there now are much better mechanisms to alleviate priority
than running as root, especially the PAM-rtlimits approach. I don't
run a setuid-root Pd binary for months now.

However I have believed that Pd *does* drop root priviledges after it
has changed its priority. Have I been fooled?

So I can see that gem gets loaded fine, in the console window. But it
seems no gem objects work.. gemwin for example.



So the GEM  build date and the developer names are shown in the console but
you cannot make the object?

Yes, sounds like its time to ditch this.

When I last checked, it stayed running as root on GNU/Linux.

Not here: Trying to write a textfile to /etc/root fails even with a
setuid /usr/bin/pd:

open: error: /etc/root: write failed

[PD-dev] Tcl/Tk 8.4.13 doesn't pop up save prompt

2006-11-22 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner


I just built 0.39.2 using ActiveTcl 8.4.13.  It runs fine, but I  
noticed that it is having trouble putting up the save and quit  
prompts.  So basically, I can't close a window once its been editing  
because its not putting up the prompts.


Anyone know what's going on here?  Did some part of the Mac OS X API  
change?  I want to use this version since it says lots of Aqua bugs  
have been fixed, and it seems faster.

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
