hello, on my computer, loading an images (with pix_image) use a separate threads, as i can se on the pd console. this is not the case on the HCS installer on osX. is it a osX limitiation, or a problem with Hans build? if so : what sould be made in order to include thread images loading?
it is not an os-x limitation. however, threaded image loading is only done, when HAVE_PTHREADS is defined at compile time. the os-x installer uses the gem-binaries provided by jamie and/or chris, which are built via xcode. since xcode does not use configure, the changes are not automatically propagated to the build (e.g. someone would have to manually add HAVE_PTHREADS to the build-process).... ...thinking about this, i just noticed that Base/configDarwin.h.in is not prepared for the HAVE_PTHREADS yet, so even when using configure/make, you would not get threaded image loading on OSX.
i'll change this asap.
in the meantime, you would have to compile Gem yourself, after adding "#define HAVE_PTHREADS" to Base/configDarwin.h.
