Re: [PD] Troubles running Pd-0.43.1test5 on Windows XP

2011-11-20 Thread rolf meesters

 You need to include the ./ since it is a local script like ./configure.
  So its:

 ./autogen.sh
 ./configure
 make

 .hc

 autogen.sh is only present in a number of
 cygwin/usr/share/doc/gettext/examples/


 It should be in the root of the Pd source, in pd/autogen.sh, not
 pd/src/autogen.sh.  If its not there, then the source is not complete, and
 you can get it from git.

 .hc


 sorry hans,

it could be i'm completely blind,
but it' s not in pd-0.43.1 test5,
nor in the stable pd-0.43 download

hmm,
are you trying to install Pd (so you can run it) or are you trying to
compile Pd yourself?

if the former, just download the archive, unzip and run
  ...\pd\bin\pd.exe
(when using Pd-extended, you even get a nice installer, that will
eventually create a desktop icon to start Pd)

that's it!
no cygwin, no nothing.



the autogen.sh in some README refers to building Pd from sources.
the source package of Pd (which is usually _not_ the zip-archive
labelled w32, but rather something like pd-0.49-2.tar.gz) will contain
a script autogen.sh which will generate some files needed for compiling Pd.
compiling Pd on cygwin is non-trivial (it seems, i don't know), at least
nobody i know of is doing it (on a regular basis).
if you want to compile Pd on cygwin, you should have a good
understanding of how cygwin works.

trying to install on XP Pro,
following the 'new' method from the install.txt.
however autogen.sh is not in Cygwin.

searches seem to point to Guile as the culprit.
i'm not versed enough to understand the finesses of this discussion,
but, does it mean to forget about the 'new' install method for Pd?

 Apparently, it's neither.
 
 Since yet it is only this (my) box with this problem, I'm sorry for
