Tried all day to build some of pd-double in pd-svn, but what worked yesterday stopped working today, after svn update. Well update, it was a fresh checkout for compelling reasons.
Here is an updated version of how to build things selectively:
- clone pd-double.git ("pd-double')
- checkout pure-data.svn ("pd-svn")
- replace sources in pd-svn/pd/ with the sources from pd-double
- from within pd-svn/pd/, build pd with:
- ./autogen.sh
- ./configure --prefix=/my/path/to/pd-svn/pd/
- make install
- from within pd-svn/externals, selectively build a lib, like so: make DESTDIR=/my/path/to/pd-svn/pd/ creb_clean creb creb_install
- the external lib will be installed in pd-svn/pd/extra/
- do not try to update pd-svn/pd/ !
This builds all the stuff and installs into the appropriate places within pd-svn/pd/, with pd in pd-svn/pd/bin/. The extra's and creb are in pd-svn/pd/extra/. But now the frustration: creb is not visible in the help browser, and it's objects can not even be loaded with namespaces, like [creb/blosc~]. I'm 100 % sure that I've instantiated [creb/blosc~] and other creb objects yesterday in a similar dev setup.
As a last resort, I've built (almost) the whole of Pd-extended from pd-svn/packages/darwin_app/, just to see double precision [creb/blosc~] loading once more. But for development, this does not work since all the cleaning and compilation is done for all libs everytime, it takes over 10 minutes to build. I really need the selective approach to work.
How come pd sees all the stuff in it's extra dir, except creb?
I think skipping 'make install' alltogether and just running things directly is much easier for dev work. Something like this:
cd pd-double/pd ./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-double-precision && make cd extra ln -s ../../externals/creb cd .. ./src/pd
Now you have a way to run pd-double's Pd using the creb you are working on. Then to build creb after mods, just do:
cd pd-double/externals make creb
