Re: flext installation - 2

Hi Marc, i cc the posts to the pd-devel list... you should better ask your questions there so that others can contribute and listen. > Yes, this works. (The 15 warning are just MS noise, I assume.) But I do > not understand what gensym actually does. The J.M. Zmoelnig document > (http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/HOWTO-externals-en.html) does > not say much about this particular issue. Maybe you know? gensym registeres a symbol (given by a string) in the PD messages table or fetches it from it if it's already stored. A few often used important symbols also have static equivalents as you have seen: s_float for gensym("float"), s_signal for gensym("signal") etc. > > Would you recommend flext even for those people who make externals for > PD only (and not for MAX). What advantages would one have? I use it for any external but i'm biased of course. Advantages: - more compact - use C++ features (like inheritance) - a lot of convencience functions - threading Disadvantages: - small processing and memory overhead - size of externals (this will improve shortly) There are more points to consider, please read on in http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/~thomas/ext/flext/flext-intro.pdf http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/~thomas/ext/flext/flext-LAD2.pdf > I am attempting to get the first example of the flext tutorial (simple > 1) to compile properly on win2k VC++ 6.0. > > I am receiving this error: > > LNK1104: cannot open file "flext_d-pdwin.lib" > Did you build the flext library beforehand? If yes, it should reside in the flext/pd-msvc folder somewhere. You'll use have to adjust the path somewhere in the project settings of the tutorial examples, so that the library can be found. - If you're using build-pd-msvc.bat, you should edit config-pd-msvc.txt accordingly - If you are using the VC++ project, you'll have to adjust the include and library paths. best greetings, Thomas

loading soundfiles on the fly
by Tim Blechmann 10 May '04

10 May '04

hi all, i've recently added a threaded soundfiler to the devel branch on cvs. every soundfiler objects sends it's requests to a global helper thread that performs the actions one after another other. this means, several soundfiler objects won't interfere with each other... (use t_read / t_write instead of read / write) features: - load 100 mb from a soundfile to an array without a single dropout :-) bugs: - sometimes i experienced problems with the gui updates (maybe one of the gui gurus may have a look at that) todo: - catch messages that are sent to arrays - create a second array to work on, so we can leave the original array untouched until the new array is ready - fix the bugs :-) requirements: - a posix compliant system (linux is, osx is probably too, win32 ???) - you will have to switch it on in the ./configure script cons: - not syncronous any more (you can use read / write if you need that), but better than dropouts... this feature is EXPERIMENTAL, so don't use it in a performance unless you extensively tested it on your setup (don't blame me if you computer crashes). i've only been able to test it on my laptop, so any positive or negative feedback is appreciated... cheers...

wrong # coordinates: expected an even number, got 157
by Tim Blechmann 10 May '04

hi all, i'm currenty working on a threaded soundfiler that's using one global thread (not as yves' patch) but sometimes i get the following error message: wrong # coordinates: expected an even number, got 157 invalid command name "148" i call the fuction soundfiler_read directly in the thread... any idea what this error message could stand for? i couldn't find it in the pd source code... cheers...

hi, is there a way to add urls to the pdb list? it only seems possible to choose existing urls, rather than allow a text box for new entries.. otherwise, pretty neat... c

BUG: numbers in comments
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 04 May '04

04 May '04

If you have a comment with only a number in it, copy-then-pasting it, or duplicating it will convert that number to scientific format. If its too long, it'll convert it to "inf". I think that comments should not be processed at numbers, but as strings. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ "Information wants to be free." -Stewart Brand

spaces in canvas labels
by Tim Blechmann 04 May '04

04 May '04

hi all, today i heard from a bug / feature of the canvas labels: it's not possible to have spaces in the labels, but there is a way to send label messages that have symbols containing spaces (e.g. with l2s) ... that works, and it's saved correctly "bla\ bla", but it's not possible to open the properties dialog... maybe someone who is into the iemguis might have a look at it .... cheers...

a few questions
by Mathieu Bouchard 01 May '04

01 May '04

hi everybody, is there a reason why t_tkcmd.c exists, instead of merging that code into u_main.tk and then running the command "wish u_main.tk" ? is there a reason why the global pd_nt exists, instead of using the global tcl_platform() that is built into tcl? what does rtext mean? if it means "text responder", then, in turn, what does _that_ mean? ________________________________________________________________ Mathieu Bouchard http://artengine.ca/matju
