Hello all, Thomas in particular.
This is really for the archives as the disapearing pool problem was resolved, and that is probably the same cause of pool not getting created in SVN flext.
Let this be a lesson, when a flext external acts funny, recompile them all from the same flext!!!
I've been using pool just to store the results of some SOM training data, and I'm bizzarly stuck.
I was working on a patch a month ago, all was well, then I recently opened the same patch, and the pool objects were not visible. I did not change anything on the system, no updates, same version of PD (0.39-2), same flext and same pool.
I've tried a bunch of stuff to resolve this but I've not gotten any ware. I'll start with my most recent efforts.
I've removed all files in /usr and /usr/local with flext in the same, including directories.
Then I build flext from SVN (trunk revision 9690 for the flext directory)
I commented out SIMD=1 to turn off SSE for this AMD64. in config.txt
I added the proper paths to config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt to PD sources, made the flext path /usr/local, the outpath=. , installpath /usr/lib/pd/extra, commented out all the STK and SndObj stuff.
removed all sse UFLAGS, leaving only -ffast-math left other flags to default.
Compiling flext and pool, after build.sh pd gcc clean, seems to work fine, I see the binaries, I'm using -lib pool to load pool. (after pd gcc install for both flext and pool)
PD says pool is loaded:
pool 0.2.2pre - hierarchical storage object, (C)2002-2008 Thomas Grill
but the pool object will not instantiate, (just the dashed line border) and the usual console message:
pool ... couldn't create pool test ... couldn't create
Does the current SVN version of flext/pool still play with 39-2 or only newer PDs? (I'm using the old PD as I know its rock stable for this installation).
So I've downloaded the "stable" flext and pool from thomas website, and trying again:
copied the same config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt and config.txt from the SVN build.
starting pd again with -lib pool
PD says pool is loaded:
pool 0.2.1 - hierarchical storage object, (C)2002-2005 Thomas Grill
making a pool object does instantiate, but is invisible. I can blindly click on it to get the pool properties, and connect things to it, but can't see the object itself.
Ok, so tried removing the .pdsettings, and not using -lib pool, and creating a pool object, and it works! So I'll put the pdsettings back in lib by lib to see if I can figure out what library its conflicting with.
Ok, it was (duh) xsample that was left over from some old flext was causing the invisible pool problem. Having -lib xsample messed with pool.
I'm sending this message just for the archives.

Hi Ben, many thanks for your findings! I'm still not finished with the autoconf stuff, mainly because of problems on OSX 10.4, but let's hope the integration into pd-extended will make such issues vanish. gr~~~

Great!
Flext in pd-extended will be a huge community benifit. :)
Thanks for taking on the task.
