fyi, for OSCx i fixed that install bug and added the prefix option in the makefile.
also i changed the stale cnmat licences to the more recent ones so it might be included again in larger packages ..

|hello there | |sorry to jump aboard the pd-dev list as a newbie, but i just wanted to |relate some problems i had downloading and compiling pd-osc for OSX, |and how i ended up troubleshooting them -- with the hope of either |getting feedback on what i *really* should have done, or so that the |maintainer of pd-osc may update the docs so that it'll be easier for |folks like me to get it going later on. here's what happened: | |... |i noticed the new disclaimer on the pure-data site regarding the new |status of pd-osc, that now it's not actively distrbuted by the pd |site... |i've seen two versions of the pd-osc external, the newest version at |http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/externals/OSCx/ (which |is where i'm directed to go from the pd site), and an older version at |the pd sourceforge site. | |query # 1: |when i got to the site with the newer version, i couldn't figure out |for the life of me how to download the entire contents of the OSCx |directory all at once. i had to download each file one at a time. for |future reference, is there a way to do this quickly and with one |command that i don't know about? | |as for the older version on sourceforge, i was able to easily download |the whole thing happily in one shot, but jeez, i really wanted the |newest one, not the 2002 version... | |... |here are some things that i had to mangle with as an OSX user trying to |compile this stuff - these are the points where i'd either like some |advice on what i should've done instead, or if i did what i was |supposed to, then maybe the docs could be updated or modified for |future users... i couldn't find the email addy of the maintainer of |pd-osc in any of the docs, so that's why i'm sending this message here |to the dev list... i imagine he's a lurker... | |... |first off, i had to change the permissions of the configure file so |that it could be executed, otherwise 'permission denied'. |chmod u+x configure |i imagine this executable bit was just lost in the download process... | |... |next, i had to make sure to change my pd folder from 'pd-0.37-2' to |just plain 'pd' or else the scripts in the configure file wouldn't know |where to look for or put pd-related stuff... | |... |at the website |(http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/externals/OSCx/ ), i |didn't download the file 'install.sh' because it was blank, or |'configure.h.in' because my browser kept telling me the file didn't |exist (it also showed up blank when i viewed it). dummy files. after |some mangling with ./configure, i finally downloaded the blank |'install.sh' and created a blank doc called 'configure.h.in' and |./configure was finally happy... | |.. |then, i was able to make it through './configure' and 'make' alright, |but then when i got to 'make install' (as the superuser of course), i |came across this error: |install -m644 *.pd_linux /usr/lib/pd/extra |install: *.pd_linux: No such file or directory |make[1]: *** [install] Error 71 |make: *** [install] Error 2 | |after some additional mangling, i went into OSCx/src/makefile and |changed the line | |install -m644 *.pd_linux $(prefix)/lib/pd/extra #i assume an artifact |from the linux-users compilation |to |install -m644 *.pd_darwin $(prefix)/lib/pd/extra | |and everything i think compiled alright... | |... |okay, so then after everything had finally compiled fine, after some |investigation i discover that all of the wonderful new docs and |externals have been thrown into an invisible folder (at least invisible |to OSX's finder) that i really don't want to ever use (maybe someone |can convince a good reason why i should): /usr/lib/pd/extra and |/usr/lib/pd/doc |to overrule this, i then type a final command: | |cp -R /usr/lib/pd/extra /Applications/Apps.Audio/pd/ |cp -R /usr/lib/pd/doc /Applications/Apps.Audio/pd/ | |which adds the needed externals and docs into their pleasant places... | |... | |alrighty. so, basically, if someone has the time, please enlighten me |to whether there could've been a way quicker and easier way for me to |do all of this... and if not (and even if so, perhaps), it'd be super |if the readme docs for pd-osc (and possibly even some of the |installation docs) could be amended and updated to reflect these |possible mods. | |awesome. thanks so much for your help. |adam | | | |aoverton@calarts.edu |661.373.8679 cell ... 661.294.1885 hm |http://www.calarts.edu/~aoverton |... |check out inter/meta/trans, a new mailing list for live art and |performance |http://shoko.calarts.edu/mailman/listinfo/intermetatrans | | |_______________________________________________ |PD-dev mailing list |PD-dev@iem.at |http://iem.at/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pd-dev |
