Have you tried one of the dlls from Pd-extended? They are built from CVS every night. They might not have FTGL/font support on Windows.

Hi,

Yes, I have tried some of them. But maybe the wrong ones, because they weren't built on a daily basis. Also the pix_film object was crashing so I thought they might not be what is used nowadays for production work. Do you have a link to a specific one. Or a suggestion of which pd extended version I could use for the purpose ?

Thanks,

Günter

Hi there,

Has anyone a recent binary of Gem thats working well for windows ? The only thing I could find was 0.90-1 and I wanted to use some of the newer features.

Thanks in advance,

Günter

Which verson of GEM (build date) and what type of file causes the crash? I fixed the Quicktime crash and the DirectShow code runs pretty well apart from some codec bugs (libavcodec in particular).

Its not a specific file, as soon as I have a pix_film object in the patch it crashes. This happens to the pd-extended version (april 17) as well as to the snapshot you pointed me to. The stable 0.90.1 version from 2004 works.

I have also tried on several machines, all Windows XP. What I normally do is just to drop Gem.dll into the extra folder and instantiate via the [Gem] object in the patch (if this matters).

I tried yesterday the whole day to compile Gem, unfortunately I only have VC7 (Edition 2005 or such). I haven´t figured out yet how to set the linker flags in order to produce a loadable Gem.dll.

More info, it seems its not the pix_film put the pix_texture object that causes the crash. Do I have to install some OpenGL extensions or something ?

ah, this seems to be related to the glew fake-support (where all gl-functions appear to be available, but eventually return null-pointers)

get a decent graphics card ;-) most likely it is just the rectangle textures that need to be supported. (and the default w32 drivers are openGL-1.2 or so... which do not have rectangle textures)

probably it is sufficient to disable rectangle texturing in [pix_texture]
