pd on a Mac
by Mark Danks 03 Dec '98

03 Dec '98

I don't know if we have any Macintosh hackers out there, but Paul Ossenbruggen has a very, very, very alpha version of Pd running on the Mac OS. It is slow as pond water, lots of features are missing, etc. but you can add two numbers together :-) I know that Paul hasn't had any time to work on it lately, so if anyone wants to give it a shot, let me know. I'll hook you up with Paul and the source code. Obviously, Pd/GEM should be much easier on Carbon/OS X, so you might just want to skip 8.5...

In the source code for GEM, there is a library for playing mpegs. Look in the AuxLibs section. However, I haven't integrated it into GEM yet, although it is on my "list of things to do". The question is when... In the short run, you need to use pix_multiimage Later, Mark ---------------------------------------- -- Mark Danks -- mdanks(a)stormfront.com -- http://www.danks.org/mark ----------------------------------------

(still undocumentated) this page is to provide pd and gem patches/libs/movies/sound only. i think it would be more usefull if there are many automon pages instead of only one official page... like a decentral system. but in this case there sill a need for some coordination. leder klaus

Install base and PD/GEM stuff

I don't know what the real numbers are either, but currently about 5 people download GEM a day. Considering that it has been up for a couple of years now, my guess is that a thousand people have downloaded Pd/GEM...but I don't know how many people are actively using them. Also, I have always said that I would be more than willing to provide a page for Pd/GEM resources. If any one has anything (example patches, demos, externals, abstractions, etc), let me know and I'll create an area for it.

Re[2]: minimum hardware for linux PD?
by SETA,MICHAL,MR 03 Dec '98

Hey, For those who are really curious about platforms that pd has run on: I use it in MkLinux on a PowerMac 7200/120MHz. Haven't tried yet GEM package with it but pd runs almost fine. Almost because the MkLinux system seems to have no support for MIDI :(( And no duplex audio :( I can either read or write to my dev/dsp. So I'm still working in MAX in MacOS. When I have more time I will have to recompile the kernel to tkae out sound in order to install OSS which is supposed to be running on a PPC and supposedly has full duplex audio support. Unfortunately other MkLinux users don't seem to be interested in doing music on their machines. However, given a well developed kernel and system with all support you need and considering various benchmarks, pd should perform better on a PPC processors than on Pentium. For now, though, it's just a wishful thinking. Let's hope OSX server will be more reliable. >On Wed, 2 Dec 1998, Miller Puckette wrote: > >->Hi Steev, >-> >->Did anyone answer your letter yet?
