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?
