Re: [PD] mapping: path setting hell

If there is good code out there, I want to use it, not reinvent it. 
having a complex abstraction to replace this : 


loadbang
$1
moses 0

is overkill. it add complexity to a simple patch.

If 
you use mapping in Pd-extended, you never need to know anything about 
what's happening inside, it just works.

if you don't use pd extended, it just don't work.
i already explain why i don't use pd-extended, and will not change my mind soon.


 With a little bit of effort, 
Pd-vanilla users can also acheive this.  That's why I am fixing up 
libdir.c and these libraries in SVN.


i just don't want to add complexity to a simple thing, just because you think 
it's better.



These libraries were a place for me to experiment with ways of handling 
libraries in Pd easier.

for me it was something for everyday use!
and i basically can't use it the way i want, and the way i made it.

 Some of the experiments failed, but I think 
right now its in a pretty good place.  So try it out the way it is now 
and tell me what doesn't work.



to have mapping/reverse in the object break the way i work with pd for the last 
8 years.

to use [float_argument] that is outside the mapping folder cause problem to. 
(remember the pm mapping presentation @ hangar?)
at least, it could be copy / linked on the mapping directory. the best would be 
of course to replace it with a more simpler code based on 3 simple object. 
(well, to revert the change you made to my objects)

this are the biggest problem i've got.

since all mapping object are in the same directory, using the  
[reverse] form inside the object will still work on pd-extended.
but it will also make the mapping lib more flexible (you'll be able to 
move the objects / copy them in your patch directory ). So i see this 
as a big improvement of the situation.


do you agree if i change this?



Unfortunately, that's not entirely true, otherwise I would say to change 
it.  Right now, a binary object will trump ANY abstraction, even if it 
is in the same directory.  So if someone loads a binary object called 
"reverse", then [reverse] will ALWAYS be that binary, so matter where 
you put reverse.pd or how you load it.  [mapping/reverse] prevents that.

name clash are bad.
curently it's a fact.
things may change in the future, but now nameclash must be avoid.

since there already are nameclash, it's important for a user to have a full 
control of the object used.
i do this by copying abstraction in my patch folder.
it also allow my patch to work latter, when the abstraction have changed.



This is a perfect case of why we should change the load order in Pd.

ok.
change it if you wish. 
but don't find workaround with solution that work only for you.


sorry if i'm rude, but i'm more and more irritated by this problem.
c

 I 
think it should search for all object types in a given path (i.e. .pd 
.pd_linux, .pd_lua, etc.)  THEN it should search the next path.  
Currently the opposite happens: it searches .pd_linux in all paths, then 
the loaders (i.e. .pd_lua) in all paths, then the abstractions in all 
paths.

Re: [PD] Has anyone used PD to read internet radio streams?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I know the locusonus people were using Pd for receiving streams.  Its  
definitely possible.

- it's highly configurable

Re: [PD] Pdpedia and random generation

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I don't think that pdpedia is a replacement or substitute for  
interactive help patches.  But mediawiki is a great tool for getting  
lots of bits of information from a lot of people.  So I think that  
pdpedia could be used as a place to orgnanize content, like reference  
info, links to related algorithms, links to related video tutorials,  
etc.  That material  could then be filtering into the help patches  
themselves.


A pd-help file wiki would be great, but until then, I think pdpedia  
could be useful.

obviously mediawiki is an excellent versioning platform and has a

community. i think its an excellent format for plain text
information, which takes the form of tutorials/howto/guide, but as
an object reference it has a limited scope.

this is especially the case when attempting to pull that information
into another format (ie.. not html). anything pulled off the server
using the api needs to be parsed to be made useful in another
context, and in many cases reparsed to pick out the
meta-references, and this is without getting to the content which
is often categorised in an entirely different format.

i have previously invested a fair chunk of time in refencing objects
in a sql database, while my work was not designed with versioning
in mind, it was designed to be utilised by pd (dd was the projected
environment) or pd libs internally, or in other formats like a
postscript reference or generating pddp formatted helpfiles. i have
recently started picking up the pieces of this project (which i had
ceased with the initial announcement of pdpedia).

anyhow, what i am beginning to see a need for is an infrastructure
like mediawiki which stores pd files rather than plain-text. think
of it like a categorised + tagged svn. this would be a place where
people can upload files relating to pd use, examples of usage,
methods of interfacing and anything else that gets passed around on
this mailing list. keeping with the same wiki format of edits by
anyone, and versioning each subsequent edit. then in a similar
method to mediawiki api calls, pd internally could request a list
of articles (pd-patches) and dynamically retrieve requested
articles from the pdwiki. thus making the system much more usable
within the pd environment.

i think the benefit of this would be quite obvious to pd-users, as
it has been stated many times by numerous people that a plain text
wiki reference doesn't really make much sense without the
interactive characteristics of an actual patch.

this is something i would happily put energies into development, and
in many ways have already started. i will likely end up building
something that works in this way anyway, so please throw in
suggestions, before i get carried away ;)

Re: [PD] timing issues in Windows Vista

[Roman Haefeli]

i think, the samplingrate, that pd thinks it is using and the one that
it is actually using, are differnt. 

try an [osc~ 440], it will sound like a d.

can't tell, what is causing that confusion. check your soundcard
settings. 1.5 could be related to 32kHz (real) <-> 48kHz (imaginary)
confusion.

Re: [PD] Pdpedia and random generation

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

There are lots of good ideas worth trying.  We've talked about it a  
lot, we just need someone to take charge of it.  I am just too  
overloaded to handle pdpedia on top of everything else.  Who wants to  
own it?

yes I agree. At the origin in 2006..., I have suggested to some  
french PDers the following features:



-

* a lexicon-dictionary about objects/externals/abstractions ( Done)

* a category search portal ( one of the most important feature for  
pd newbies ), like in Wikipedia portal http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Catégories 
 ( to do)


Example of category search:  
PD==>Graphics==>Video==>Live==>Effects==>Blending==> pix_add / 
pix_subtract /pix_diff /pix_composite/ pix_multiply/ PDP_blend  
( fiction...)


* multilingual structure as Wikipedia ( very important for  
educational uses in the world where people will stay with commercial  
software just for this reason ( France for example)) (Done)


future options, when the database will be completed enough:

* tools or wiki tags for visualizing patches ( parsing of the patch  
code to create an image of the patch, server side) and downloading  
text patches from PDpedia


* Pdpedia database embedded with PD extended ( when completed) for  
offline consulting


* in PD: a contextual help with access to the related pdpedia page  
(in PD itself or online)



-

About the formatting of one page, I have suggested the rubriques:


-

(from the body of the page)

Nature of the element (object/external/abstraction/
Short Definition
Generalities (long definition)
Compatibility ( wich versions of pd)
*
Inlets

Warnings and incompatibilities
Tricks and alternative ways to do it
Examples ( expanded help file+ other examples with pictures), links  
to video examples

Associated objects, related objects
Equivalents in similar open source softwares
*

about the work to do on the PDpedia, I have suggested to organize  
PDpedia Parties:


It's a on day or two days fiesta gathering, where PDers decide:
-first : how many objects they will document, and wich objects ( 5  
per person during 3 hours for example)
-then they document individually, in a fiesta atmosphère, during a  
limited amount of time.
-then, they create collective(s) performance(s) in a complete fiesta  
atmosphere


I have also suggested that all PD teachers should give time in their  
workshops for the students to document on PDpedia the object they  
are discovering.



-

Of course, PDpedia is a long term project. There are also many  
initiatives like the great FLOSSmanuals, or videopedia to produce  
tutorials.


Because of the 2500 objects/elements, the PDpedia is more on the  
encyclopedic aspect.
2500 objects and more could be completed in many languages in five  
years, if the community understand how politically important is to  
help newbies to use such tools with documentation facilities.  
Documenting is not sometimes very sexy, that's why I suggest to  
organise PDpedia parties.


-

and yes, I agree, there is a need for some maintainers ( I can not  
do it at this time), for an antispam system with a captcha or  
similar stuff.

Something like a WikiProject on wikipedia? It would be good to have
standards on how articles should be formatted and what kind of
information should be presented. I see there has been some effort to
generate a standard layout for an article on an object, with inlets,
outlets, arguments and messages as separate sections; but I can't

a good article to serve as an example for how all articles should
look. The best I can find is:

it is now and tell me what doesn't work.

[PD] timing issues in Windows Vista

[Matteo Sisti Sette]

Hi,
This drives me crazy.

I'm trying PD 0.42-4 on Windows Vista. Always used XP before.

Logical time runs 50% slower than real time, i.e. 1000 logical 
millisecond pass in approximately 1500 real milliseconds.

Yet there is no abnormal CPU consumption.

Try the attached patch. On any normal Windows XP machine I test it on, 
the number box will increase one unit every one second.


On my laptop with Windows Vista, which is a Core Duo T9300, it 
increments every 1.5 seconds approximately.


I haven't tested yet what happens with signals.

Any ideas?

Thanks

[PD] start-up messages weirdnesses

[Matteo Sisti Sette]

Hi,

I've been using for a long time an old version of GEM, because for a 
series of compatibility and stability issues it was the only one that 
worked for me when I investigated, which was a couple of years ago 
(2007). At that time, the latest official release dated back to 2004 and 
the version I chose and still use is dated august 2006.


I should now try the latest version, however I'm getting some messages I 
can't understand, and above all I can't understand why I get these 
messages with the same version of PD and GEM on one machine and not on 
others when the only difference is Windows version (and possibly some 
third party software/codecs/drivers) but not PD or GEM versions.


Here's the all the init messages I get in Windows Vista:

=== INIT MESSAGES IN WINDOWS VISTA; PD 0.42-4 =
warning: old method 'width' for class 'curve' renamed 'width_aliased'

Gem Man: QT init OK
pix_film:: avi support
=

On the other hand, on older machines with windows XP, with the same 
version of gem and also of PD I don't get any of the warning messages.


I have only a remote dubt (and cannot check) that I may be wrong about 
the PD version that does not give the warning messages: it could be 
0.42-3; however I'm almost sure it is 0.42-4, the same that does give 
the warning - however both are definitely 0.42-x and both gem versions 
are the very same Gem.dll file.


Anybody can explain where's the difference?
Also, what's the exact meaning and history of these messages? I'm sure 
this has already been discussed in the list but I can't find it in the 
archives (a typical case of difficult formulation of significant keyword 
combination), so if anybody can point me to an old thread where this was 
explained, that would be a great help.


Thank you in advance

four

paths to  set, just like I wrote in my first mail.


How about checking whether help files work before reporting the  
problem?


I wrote "I don't know if helpp-files work" - but I've tried it now.

You only need to install libdir once.  Plus if you use the latest  
version
of libdir, then 'extra' can be any folder in the path.  I suggest  
one of

these:

http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files-with-pd-extended


Okay, here's what I did:

$ cp -a SVN/mapping /usr/lib/pd/extra
$ cd SVN/loaders
$ svn update
$ make (to make libdir.pd_linux)
$ pd -lib libdir -lib mapping

gives this:
...
libdir loader $Revision: 1.8 $
   compiled on Apr  8 2009 at 07:46:59
   compiled against Pd version 0.42.4.
mapping: can't load library
...

and I still cannot create any mapping object. I was able to fix that  
by adding
a mapping-meta.pd file manually (copied from some pd-extended source  
on my

disk, could find one in SVN's trunk). Help files still don't work.

According to http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Libdir help-files  
have to be
either in 5.reference/libname or next to the object in question.  
Both is not
the case the way mapping is laid out and again something, that has  
to be done

manually.

That's all pretty complicated for a newbie like me. :)


Luckily the solution is simple:   "svn update".  Sounds like you are  
working with an old copy.  The folder "externals/mapping/help" should  
be gone, all the help patches in "externals/mapping", and there should  
be a "externals/mapping/mapping-meta.pd" file.  Otherwise, you're  
working with old code.

since all mapping object are in the same directory, using the

but it will also make the mapping lib more flexible (you'll be able  
to move the objects / copy them in your patch directory ). So i see  
this as a big improvement of the situation.


do you agree if i change this?



Unfortunately, that's not entirely true, otherwise I would say to  
change it.  Right now, a binary object will trump ANY abstraction,  
even if it is in the same directory.  So if someone loads a binary  
object called "reverse", then [reverse] will ALWAYS be that binary, so  
matter where you put reverse.pd or how you load it.  [mapping/reverse]  
prevents that.


This is a perfect case of why we should change the load order in Pd.   
I think it should search for all object types in a given path  
(i.e. .pd .pd_linux, .pd_lua, etc.)  THEN it should search the next  
path.  Currently the opposite happens: it searches .pd_linux in all  
paths, then the loaders (i.e. .pd_lua) in all paths, then the  
abstractions in all paths.

I don't think many newbies really want to get into the nitty-

me smooth out the installation process.  Before, the 10 steps were  
for creating a library from scratch.  I think its pretty simple  
considering.  Now, the libraries are pre-built in SVN, so you only  
need to:


1. cd /path/to/your/extra (or wherever you want to install stuff)
2. svn co 
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/mapping
3. svn co 
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/abstractions/purepd
4. pd -lib libdir -lib purepd -lib mapping
You cheat a bit here: "svn co whereverlibdiris; make libdir", and I  
don't know,
if help-files in mapping work then - with just your sets they  
won't. And you
still have the requirement of putting the directories mapping and  
purepd into a
directory in the pd path like "extra", so it's still four paths to  
set, just

like I wrote in my first mail.

Re: [PD] auto 1 loops pix_film (and pix_movie?)

[Derek Holzer]

Sorry, no time to patch it for you now, but basically send the total 
number of frames output by [pix_film] to the cold inlet of mod, send the 
output of the counter to the hot inlet of [mod]. By changing the speed 
of the [metro] in the counter, you change frame playback rate. You can 
also put another [mod] below that to loop a smaller section, with a [+] 
following it to make the frame offset.


In bad ASCII:

[metro (playback speed in ms)]
|
[f]x[+1]
|
[mod (total number of frames)]
|
[mod (length of loop in frames)]
|
[+ (starting frame of loop)]
|
(cold inlet of [pix_film])

Hope that makes sense! I'll leave it to you to figure out how to make it 
run backwards ;-)


Best,
D.

Hi there everyone.

I want to ask, can anybody give me information about universities  
that give
a master degree in new media arts, probably those that similar with  
MIT

Media Lab. I've just graduated with a bachelor degree in electrical
engineering, and in my final assignment, I create some kind of  
installation
using Arduino and Pd. After that, I feel very eager to continue  
studying
about this new media art field. So can anybody tell me where should  
i go?

Any information will be appreciated.

Thank you very much everybody!

Cheers

no.
or yes, but selectors need not be symbols, and there would be no  
special selectors, that implictely define the tail of the list.


somehow functional languages like lisp manage to do well with lists

without making the head be different from the elements of the tail.

This is kind of the opposite of what we mean, I think.  It forces the  
"list" on everything.  It is a library built around that one concept  
then, which is good.  But I think, like IOhannes says above, that it  
should be possible to ditch the "float" and "symbol" selectors, since  
Pd is already setting the type of each atom, then call any message  
with more than one atom a "list" and also drop the "list" selector.


Then something like [route symbol float list] would just sort data,  
without stripping off any atoms from the message, but [route foo bar]  
would still look for the first atom, and if it finds it, strip it off  
and route it.

i guess you meant to name it either "audiomath/ 
libaudiomath.so" (or .dll or .dylib) or "audiomath/ 
audiomath.pd_linux".
Perhaps audiomath/libaudiomath.so makes the most sense so that it  
can't be loaded by Pd as an objectclass.  But I am guessing.



the question is why you would want to enforce Pd not being able to  
load this library.
at the worst this would allow to mix abstractions, single-object- 
binaries, multi-object-binaries and shared-code dylibs into a single  
"bundle" (libdir-like directory defining a library)


the only reason i see to create an explicit mechanism to prevent Pd  
from loadinga file as an object-class is a notorious aversion  
against multiboject-binaries.


it's ok for me if someone doesn't like these. it's not ok for me  
declaring war on them.


I have traditionally had an aversion to multiobject-binaries because  
of the pain they caused many people, me included.  It seems that they  
could be fine as long as we have the right mechanisms to be able to  
put the objectclasses in that binary into a fully functioning  
namespace, and be able to address them using namespace prefixes.  From  
the Pd interface point of view, all objectclasses should behave the  
same, regardless of how they are implemented.


The idea for the audiomath/libaudiomath.so chunk is for shared code  
that would be loaded when the library is loaded, whether or not any  
object class has been loaded.  I suppose it might just be simpler to  
make it a .pd_linux.  I just have a feeling that it will cause  
problems down the line, I don't have an example off hand to back up  
that feeling.



i admit that currently all C-code is considered "shared" (that is:  
there is no "list2symbol.pd_linux"), but once you start blurring  
the two worlds it get's blurry anyhow (and "l2s" and "list2symbol"  
share about 100% of their code anyhow)

I like having each objectclass as its own file.


i know

Then only the code that is in use will be loaded into memory.   
linking everything together into one zexy.pd_linux means the whole  
thing is loaded into memory, no?


obviously.
but you are surely aware that you cannot avoid people doing this  
with shared libs (that cannot be loaded directly by Pd) as well.


so again, the only reason to make this explicit is because to throw  
feeble hurdles on the path of freedom of a developer.




I think the archives have some long discussions about the problems  
with multi-object binaries.  I am not opposed to using them if someone  
wants to do the work to make them behave like abstractions in a libdir  
currently do.  (i.e. [import mylib] then [myobj]; [mylib/myobj],  
etc.)   Then we would have a relatively straightforward solution for  
the problems with >~, etc.


i would also like to have Pd's loading mechanism modified so that  
it _temporarily_ adds Gem/ to the dylib-searchpath, so one could  
ship a library with external dependencies (without having to link  
them statically)

I am sure you don't mean to do this on GNU/Linux, right?


yes i want to do this on all platforms.


What lib would you include with Gem on GNU/Linux?  Shouldn't Gem use  
the Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora packages?  Or am I missing something?



I take it you mean like including a .dylib in the Gem folder?


but i am not talking about including libGL.so with Gem.

it is really something along the lines of your proposal on  
"audiomath/libaudiomath.so".



Kind of like what I do with Pd-extended and the Fink dylibs?  That  
is not a great system.  I think due to the limitations of the Mac  
OS X shared lib loading, it would be painful.  Basically, AFAIK,  
a .dylib in Mac OS X must have its path hard-coded in the file.   
Otherwise, you have to load it manually with a direct call to dlopen.


but the path can be relative, no?


Not really, IIRC.  It has to be an absolute path, but then there is  
this @executable_path@ variable which is replaced by the path to the  
executable that is loading the lib.  Its all a bit hazy in my brain,  
it would be worth checking the docs and maybe trying a relative path.   
I remember trying a lot of things, then giving up and thinking that Pd  
would have to open audiomath/libaudiomath.so directly using dlopen().


.hc

I don't remember the details in Windows, I think that it already  
checks "." for .dlls by default.


this is how i remember it as well.

Hi,
well not directly, but i did use mplayer (commandline) to receive  
internet radion stations and you can send them (also multiple streams)

to PD via Jack...

The advantage: you are not limited to shoutcast.

That worked quite good

Re: [PD] Has anyone used PD to read internet radio streams?

[John Harrison]

I've used mp3amp~ to play shoutcast streams. It seems to work pretty well
and I think it's already included in Pd-extended for Linux. Might be on the
OSX version too...not sure.

hi simon,
for pd-extended to create all the objects, I had to add
declare -stdpath extra/Gem (for pix_blobtracker)
declare -stdpath extra/iemmatrix (for all the mtx_ objects)
and create an instance of mtx_mul that gets loaded before mtx_*
I don't know if declare will work with 0.40. check your console to see
if the mtx_ objects get loaded correctly.

However, in my version of pd (0.40.3-extended - mac, OSX 10.4.11) the
[pix_blobtracker] doesn't seem to load. Is this a subpatch that makes use of
multiblob that I don't have, or is it an object that I am missing?



its an abstraction you should be able to find in the extra/Gem/ 
directory (which you might not be able to open from the finder because 
its within the Pd.app bundle :-()


try creating [Gem/pix_blobtracker] instead.

i guess you meant to name it either "audiomath/libaudiomath.so" (or 
.dll or .dylib) or "audiomath/audiomath.pd_linux".


Perhaps audiomath/libaudiomath.so makes the most sense so that it can't 
be loaded by Pd as an objectclass.  But I am guessing.



the question is why you would want to enforce Pd not being able to load 
this library.
at the worst this would allow to mix abstractions, 
single-object-binaries, multi-object-binaries and shared-code dylibs 
into a single "bundle" (libdir-like directory defining a library)


the only reason i see to create an explicit mechanism to prevent Pd from 
loadinga file as an object-class is a notorious aversion against 
multiboject-binaries.


it's ok for me if someone doesn't like these. it's not ok for me 
declaring war on them.


i admit that currently all C-code is considered "shared" (that is: 
there is no "list2symbol.pd_linux"), but once you start blurring the 
two worlds it get's blurry anyhow (and "l2s" and "list2symbol" share 
about 100% of their code anyhow)


I like having each objectclass as its own file. 


i know

Then only the code that 
is in use will be loaded into memory.  linking everything together into 
one zexy.pd_linux means the whole thing is loaded into memory, no?


obviously.
but you are surely aware that you cannot avoid people doing this with 
shared libs (that cannot be loaded directly by Pd) as well.


so again, the only reason to make this explicit is because to throw 
feeble hurdles on the path of freedom of a developer.




i would also like to have Pd's loading mechanism modified so that it 
_temporarily_ adds Gem/ to the dylib-searchpath, so one could ship a 
library with external dependencies (without having to link them 
statically)


I am sure you don't mean to do this on GNU/Linux, right?


yes i want to do this on all platforms.


I take it you mean like including a .dylib in the Gem folder? 


but i am not talking about including libGL.so with Gem.

it is really something along the lines of your proposal on 
"audiomath/libaudiomath.so".



Kind of 
like what I do with Pd-extended and the Fink dylibs?  That is not a 
great system.  I think due to the limitations of the Mac OS X shared lib 
loading, it would be painful.  Basically, AFAIK, a .dylib in Mac OS X 
must have its path hard-coded in the file.  Otherwise, you have to load 
it manually with a direct call to dlopen.  


but the path can be relative, no?

 I don't remember the details 
in Windows, I think that it already checks "." for .dlls by default.


this is how i remember it as well.

i guess that if someone (not completely naive; and with an eye on

(just the first element of the list).


But if you drop the current selectors and use the first element of any
list as selector, you just have reinvented selectors, haven't you? ;)


no.
or yes, but selectors need not be symbols, and there would be no special 
selectors, that implictely define the tail of the list.


somehow functional languages like lisp manage to do well with lists and 
dealing the head of a list (selector) in various special ways without 
making the head be different from the elements of the tail.

in this case i would highly recommend to read the documentation of Pd.
(esp. work through all examples in doc/2.control.examples/)
you will not be able to do much meaningful things in Pd without at least 
a basic understanding on how to deal with messages.

Re: [PD] mapping: path setting hell

[cyrille henry]

Hans-Christoph Steiner a écrit :



Inside of the objects themselves, I use always the [mapping/reverse] 
form.  Only in the help patches do I use the [reverse] form.  That 
convention seemed to make sense at the time, but I am not married to it.


since all mapping object are in the same directory, using the  [reverse] form 
inside the object will still work on pd-extended.
but it will also make the mapping lib more flexible (you'll be able to move the 
objects / copy them in your patch directory ). So i see this as a big 
improvement of the situation.

do you agree if i change this?

Hallo,
Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:

Yes, there is some absurdity to this conversation.  I guess Frank and I 
have been doing this for so long, its just part of a game we play ;-)


Anyway, I could give the instructions in one step:

1. use Pd-extended ;-)


But that's exactly what I mean: "mapping" IMO has become promotion material for
pd-extended, but increasingly hard to use for users of newer Pd versions or
alternative distributions.

specially since it's mainly abstraction, i don't understand why we need to 
install it.
i think for this specific lib, any dependency of object outside it's directory 
can be seen as a bug.

c



I don't think many newbies really want to get into the nitty-gritty of  
hand-built Pd installs, but this conversation did make me smooth out the 
installation process.  Before, the 10 steps were for creating a library 
from scratch.  I think its pretty simple considering.  Now, the libraries 
are pre-built in SVN, so you only need to:


1. cd /path/to/your/extra (or wherever you want to install stuff)
2. svn co 
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/mapping
3. svn co 
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/abstractions/purepd
4. pd -lib libdir -lib purepd -lib mapping


You cheat a bit here: "svn co whereverlibdiris; make libdir", and I don't know,
if help-files in mapping work then - with just your sets they won't. And you
still have the requirement of putting the directories mapping and purepd into a
directory in the pd path like "extra", so it's still four paths to set, just
like I wrote in my first mail.

Re: [PD] auto 1 loops pix_film (and pix_movie?)

[Marco Donnarumma]

Hey..
thanks Derek, yes i've already done what you're saying for my project
C::NTR::L and i have a simple process which give me dynamically the total
frames for each video you load.
I was asking just to know the truth about it  :)
Since i'm using this process a lot i could create a specific example about
this for FLOSS manual. I have this exact process ready in my patches.
ATM i'm terribly busy, but i'll keep it in mind and contribute asap.
best..


Marco
