hi all,
since i have a gem-patch running on win32, that's displaying only this:
|gemhead| | |pix_image| | |pix_texture| | |scaleXYZ 5.33 4 0| | |square|
after a few days of changing the image a lot (every 10 seconds or so), it's only displaying a white screen.
is this a known issue? related to the pix_image cache?
thanks ... tim

don't know but I think IOhannes removed the cache - so it should be in cvs ...
great ... ever tried to compile gem on win32? i gave up :-(

no ... but as a hack you could try to use pix_multiimage or pix_buffer ...
well, with pix_multiimage, i'd have to to change the names of the files, with pix_buffer, i'd have to use the open message, that's undocumented and (i just had a look at the cvs logs) that's not in the v0_90 branch ...
cheers ... tim
Hallo!
well, with pix_multiimage, i'd have to to change the names of the files,
yes, but that's maybe easier than compiling GEM on windows ;)
with pix_buffer, i'd have to use the open message, that's undocumented and (i just had a look at the cvs logs) that's not in the v0_90 branch ...
yes that's true ...
good luck, LG Georg

...another hack would be to use [pix_film], since an image could be considered a 1-frame film...

Hi there,
great ... ever tried to compile gem on win32? i gave up :-(
I have a working dll of a gem cvs checkout (minus the orb stuff) compiled with mingw. It's about two months old and not thoroughly tested, altough it seems to be a little faster than johannes' build when dealing with repeated geos (okay, I optimized with -O3 and for PIII, while johannes does only ppro, iirc). If anyone is interested, drop me a mail. I could also put it up on puredata.info if there are no major bugs in this build. Don't have the time to do the testing right noe :-(
with kind regards, thoralf.

Can you post the details on how you built GEM with GCC on Windows? If the process is manageable enough to replace VC++, I think more people would work on Win development. I will have the time to implement pix_record and fix up some other QT issues soon...

hi chris,
Can you post the details on how you built GEM with GCC on Windows? If
The main thing is to go through the headers of the ms platform sdk and the directx sdk and tweak them to get along with gcc. Luckily, other people have done this already, google helps quite a bit here. After this, the baseclasses should compile okay ... Then one needs to get the libraries straight that gem depends on (libjpeg, libtiff, freetype etc ... I failed on liborb and let it out), and that's pretty much all there is to do. If you get through this once, you have a working environment to compile gem that should last for - well, hopefully some time :-) I'll put up the changes I made to puredata.info, but this will take some time.

great :-)

is it binary compatible with pd compiled with msvc?
If anyone is interested, drop me a mail. I could also put it up on puredata.info if there are no major bugs in this build. Don't have the time to do the testing right noe :-(
if so i'd be interested ...
thanks ... tim
hi tim,
is it binary compatible with pd compiled with msvc?
no. it only works with mingw builds of pd. loading the library with vc builds works, even creating gem objects is okay. as soons as anything arrives at an inlet, pd crashes. according to thomas grill, -mno-cygwin should help here, but in my case, gcc bailed out with some obscure error message whenever I used this switch. Since I had seen too many obscure error messages at this point already, I didn't look any further in this issue.
with kind regards, thoralf.

well, mingw is not cygwin ... iirc the command line option for mingw is -mms-bitfields

btw, i just found the (undocument) open message to pix_buffer. since it's undocumented, is it already part of the win32 binary?
if not i suppose, that there's currently no stable way to load images into gem. if so would it be possible, that someone (iohannes?) will release a new win32 binary soon ...
thanks ... tim
