cross-compiling for Windows on GNU/Linux
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

So with Cygwin or MinGW, you can cross-compile Windows apps on a GNU/Linux box. So you might no longer need Windows at all to distribute externals for Windows: http://rooster.stanford.edu/~ben/linux/cross.php .hc http://at.or.at/hans/

Am I doing right?
by Meka[ni] 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

On my system (Linux), pd wouldn't compile unless I change some things. I can diff the files I've changed, but where to send them? It is cvs version of pd (latest version makes the same problems). This is my first message to this list so I don't know the procedure. Actually, is this a right list to post this message to? Thanx ________ Meka[ni]

externals in CVS, now what?
by gml＠xs4all.nl 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

I have just put my externals in the sourceforge CVS. ff/ forcefeedback externals for linux jackx/ patching and connection querying for linux beatpipe/ a beat oriented scheduler/quantizer for any pd. I don't have vi installed, so I need to figure out how to change the editor for log messages. Now the question, how does the build system work, do I have to do anything to add my externals to them?

The jack client and ports are available before the DSP is even turned on. Very very good idea.

Hi all Just checked out the devel_0_37 branch of PD, and noticed that the previously included patch to fix a jack client close bug has gone. Is there a jack subsystem revamp going on that I am not aware of, as I know the patch wa there at one stage.

making Pd a MacOS X app
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

I just found a great resource for how to turn Pd into a real MacOS X app. Basically, you modify a copy of Wish Shell.app into the launcher for Pd. A file named AppMain.tcl will automatically launch upon being double-clicked. http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/languages/tk/tcl/README-MacOSX http://www.ling.lu.se/persons/Johan/tcl/ http://www.speech.kth.se/wavesurfer/ Download the Wavesurfer app and try it and you'll what I mean. I'll give it a shot tomorrow morning. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ Man has survived hitherto because he was too ignorant to know how to realize his wishes.

Re: [PD-dev] Yet another newbie question...
by Julien Jassaud 17 Oct '03

Olaf, Thanks for the quick answer. The memory allocation helped with the crash problem. But I still have the symbol problem. I think I don't understand how PD handles messages. I created my outlet with a NULL, so it should be a message outlet. Or is it just an "anything" outlet? Than I use outlet_anything() to output all my text. Yet, when I break the text appart with unpack (the text is used to control various other pd objects, like blinkenlights for example), every word is always preceded by symbol (which is normal, I guess, since I used SETSYMBOL for every entry of the list). But SETSYMBOL seems to be the only way to output strings. So basicaly my question is, is there a way to send regular messages, I mean exactly as they are sent from a message box? > Hi Julien, > > haven't tried it, but you probably have to allocate some memory for > bluh?! > > t_atom *bluh; > int size = 2; > > bluh = (t_atom *)getbytes(size * sizeof(t_atom)); > > /* free mem with freebytes() when you don't need it any longer */ > > or, in case size does not change: > > t_atom bluh[2]; Thanks, Julien

Yet another newbie question...
by Julien Jassaud 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi to all, I'm trying to write an external that outputs text. Basicaly, you send it a bang, and it outputs text trough its only outlet. Simple, but I can't get it to work. I have two problems. First, when I print what gets out of the outlet, the string is always preceded by a "list" (the selector, I guess). Is there a way to remove this? Second (and worst), it crashes PD. I followed a few examples I found about outlet_list, and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Here's the code and what the error message I get in the terminal. I'm using PD 0.36 on Mac OS X 10.2.8. ------------------------ CODE: #include <string.h> #include <stdio.h> #include "m_imp.h" /* pd includes */ static t_class *pinball_class; typedef struct _pinball { t_object x_obj; t_outlet *sortie; } t_pinball; void pinball_bang(t_pinball *x) { t_atom *bluh; SETSYMBOL(bluh, gensym("create")); SETSYMBOL(bluh+1, gensym("destroy")); outlet_list(x->sortie, &s_list, 2, bluh); } void *pinball_new(void) { t_pinball *x = (t_pinball *)pd_new(pinball_class); x->sortie = outlet_new(&x->x_obj, &s_list); return (void *)x; } void pinball_free(t_pinball *x) { } void pinball_setup(void) { pinball_class = class_new(gensym("pinball"), (t_newmethod)pinball_new, (t_method)pinball_free, sizeof(t_pinball), CLASS_DEFAULT, A_GIMME, 0); class_addbang(pinball_class, pinball_bang); class_sethelpsymbol(pinball_class, gensym("help-pinball.pd")); } ------------------------- ERROR MESSAGE: print: list create destroy pd_gui: pd process exited /Applications/Pd.command: line 2: 1639 Bus error /usr/local/pd/bin/pd -rt -lib GEM -midiindev 0 Thanks, Julien
