hi, my last mail got nuked by the server, did you change config? it never used to have a prob with a faked 'from' field to match the subscribed address... anyways my vote is do away with the numbers. ive made a lot of minor tweaks to devel, which ive already made to impd as well, and definitely don't want to make them a 3rd time (that would be 3 strikes..). to fix/add stuff like: / .pdrc not being read on windows (pd.ini) / not being able to select 2 outs and 6 ins with portaudio / not being able to put tcl in your system path on win32 / no ASIO with non-MSVC on win32. / a few linux64 fixes / merge jsarlo's VST io sppt / almost everything from impd that wasnt in g_* files nonetheless in the actual code theyre too trivial for anyone else to notice, and an order of magnitude smaller than the contributions Tim has made, but i wouldnt want them to get lost..so in order of preference from most to least 1: do away with numbering, and just have a 'devel'. every month or so, make sure it compiles on all 3 platforms and dump into MAIN..theres few enough developers and i dont think theyre stepping on toes and generally work on difft things.. 2: keep numbering, but devel_0_56 becomes devel_0_57, so the 'little guy's stuff isnt lost, and so he doesnt have to bug miller or guenter or whoever and possibly paste a bunch of stuff in again and get grey hairs.. 3: crazy all-night frankenstein hack/merge fest with version # change that might lose features and add new bugs.. i mean the same reason i'd vote for 'devel' as rather using debian 'sid' than 'sarge' or something thats doomed (like win32)...

thread locks for arrays
by Tim Blechmann 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

hi miller ... i'd like to ask you if you intend to add a thread lock for g_arrays ... i implemented locks to devel_0_37, but since merging them to 0.38 is nothing that i consider as fun, i'd prefer to merge (or rewrite) them once (and only once) for 0.38. i'm using the locks for the threaded soundfiler and possibly vasp might make use of them, too... tim ... who is fighing with diff to make since he wants to load soundfiles without dropouts -- mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager."

setting pd_nt automatically
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

I am going to be working with u_main.tk/pd.tk a bit to make the menus confirm to the Apple and MS styles. I want to suggest a minor change which would make working with that file easier: By changing this in makefile.in: ------------------------------------------------------------ $(BIN_DIR)/pd.tk: u_main.tk echo set pd_nt @OSNUMBER@ > $(BIN_DIR)/pd.tk grep -v "set pd_nt" < u_main.tk >> $(BIN_DIR)/pd.tk ------------------------------------------------------------ to this: ------------------------------------------------------------ $(BIN_DIR)/pd.tk: u_main.tk install -m644 u_main.tk $(BIN_DIR)/pd.tk ------------------------------------------------------------ and replacing the first line of u_main.tk: ------------------------------------------------------------ set pd_nt 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ with this: ------------------------------------------------------------ if { $tcl_platform(platform) == "windows" } { set pd_nt 1 puts stderr {Configuring for Windows} } elseif { $tcl_platform(os) == "Darwin" } { set pd_nt 2 puts stderr {Configuring for MacOS X} } else { set pd_nt 0 puts stderr {Configuring for UNIX} } ------------------------------------------------------------ I attached the diff for the u_main.tk part. I tested this on Windows XP and MacOS X 10.3.3 with Pd-0.38-test4. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ Using ReBirth is like trying to play an 808 with a long stick. -David Zicarelli

cvs question
by Tim Blechmann 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

hi all ... i created a branch based on pd-0.38-test7 that hopefully has all features of devel_0_37 locally on my machine ... i'd like to check it in the cvs, as devel_0_38, although i want to make sure that i'm not breaking anything on the cvs server ... is something like cvs import pd -b devel devel_0_38 correct? cheers ... tim -- mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager."

pd's font type
by Tim Blechmann 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

hi all ... i'm curious, if i shall add the code to set the font type to devel_0_38. since the change from courier to tahoma was done by accident and courier is back in devel_0_37 and 38, i'm curious, if someone would actually use the feature to set the default font from the command line ... if no one asks for that feature until tomorrow evening, i won't add it ... cheers ... tim -- mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager."

pd-flext-ext
by Chris McCormick 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hi, I've been trying to build (over the last few weeks) the various externals pacakges from CVS and from the debian source to make .debs to give back to Geunter, but this has been largely unsuccessful. Is it normal that there are no packages in unstable like 'pd-flext-ext' and 'pd-osc' any more? I guess this is because they weren't working properly? Sorry for the confusion. I'm just trying to organise my thoughts here with regards to the debian/pd situation so I can help rectify it. Best, Chris. ------------------- chris(a)mccormick.cx http://mccormick.cx

[PD]sys_vgui()?
by Rory Walsh 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Can anyone explain what exactly this routine does? When trying to write an object to display a bitmap or jpeg on the PD canvas I came across this very useful routine. I guess itÂs a routine that interpreters tcl/tk scripts? Can anyone explain what exactly is does and what the parameters are?

Re: [PD-dev] PD.app 38-test 7

Ok, well putting the .app in applications did not change anything, its still not finding any of my externals (even though I copied them into the extra folder inside the pd.app. I don't get it. Where do I put the PDRC when using the .app?

hi miller ... i'm curious about the new filer objects ... there is no denormal protection ... are you sure, they are denormal safe? also here is a patch to force the os not to overcommit memory (see man mlockall): --- s_inter.c 28 Oct 2004 09:09:39 -0000 1.1.1.2 +++ s_inter.c 29 Oct 2004 15:41:00 -0000 @@ -267,6 +267,13 @@ #endif #ifdef _POSIX_MEMLOCK + /* tb: force memlock to physical memory { */ + struct rlimit mlock_limit; + mlock_limit.rlim_cur=0; + mlock_limit.rlim_max=0; + setrlimit(RLIMIT_MEMLOCK,&mlock_limit); + /* } tb */ + if (mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) != -1) fprintf(stderr, "memory locking enabled.\n"); #endif cheers ... tim -- mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager."
