Hi Chris,
The new libpd is a C library that gently attaches itself to the existing code base, requiring only minimal changes, the most important of which have already been accepted into the official version of pd.  On top of the C library there is some JNI glue for using libpd with Java (or Processing), and on top of the JNI glue there is a  lot of Android code, including a tentative RjDj client for Android.

Here's the current state of affairs on the iPhone:  I've been working with the RjDj crowd all week, and by now we've solidly integrated the new libpd into the setup at RjDj.  The main glue between libpd and RjDj is a PdController class in Objective C that wraps libpd, takes care of the necessary thread synchronization, and translates between pd and the iOS audio API.  I will make an attempt to persuade RjDj to release PdController with an open source license.  The initial reaction has been promising, but the final decision will have to wait until the CEO returns from his vacation.  I figure I'll have a definite answer in ten days or so.
Best,
     Peter

Hey Chris,

Welcome back!  Actually, this is perfect timing.  We are currently in the process of merging all of the various libpd efforts, like iPd, iJam/pdlib, rjdj, ofxPd, and Pd/Android.  It would be super useful to have an iPhone version of iPd/iJam/pdlib that is based on the libpd that we are now working on.  You can get that source code here:

http://gitorious.org/pdlib/pd-for-android

Basically, you are going to want everything in PdCore/jni/src.  Mostly that's the sources from Pd 0.43 with the extra libpd stuff thrown in.

Sorry for the double post — it seems that pdlib has already done it, like Hans mentioned
a while ago.

That's alright, I'm curious to see what it can do!

Hey everyone!

So summer is over and I finally have some more time to spend on this project.

I have been briefly skimming e-mails, and there seems to be a lot going on on the
Android side, but not much word for iOS (except for of course with RJDJ!).

Is there anything I should know before I get back into it? For example, if someone
already finished this without me, etc?

Cheers,
