Any solutions if I want to run both? I'm currently using the debian package of PD (38-4) thanks to Guenter, so installing the devel version will mess up my packages, unless I uninstall the pd package and recompile from source, and then use both from their non-search-path binaries?
it should be possible to use the the debian package in /usr/ and install devel to /usr/local ... you just have to take care that you run the binaries from the absolute path ...
I'm about to throw out a bunch of compiling work to use more PD packages, so its unlikely I'm going to blow away miller's PD (packaged) for devel.
well, iirc the debian package doesn't include pd's private headers (i.e. m_imp.h and g_canvas.h) ... you will be able to compile most externals, but no externals requiring these header files (e.g. cyclone, toxy, flext)
Since this is clearly not intensional anything I could contribute to to help debugging the fact that devel is not loading externals? I did checkout the whole pd/ module, not just pd/src for one. I've not even yet looked at -verbose output...
well, i'd be curious about the -verbose output ... anyway, just make sure, not to mix the build systems and to clean all old pd binaries and object files ...
I've been doing everything from pd/ and not pd/src so I'll try a third time to compile, but I have a feeling devel will still not load externals, even if only because I have Miller's installed in /usr/bin/pd .
well, i doubt that is the reason ...
