RE: Gem-0.79 for linux new release
by Mark Danks 26 Aug '99

In my version of the code, the s_windowClock is only compiled in Windows, not in unix. Does this mean that you added mouse handling? If so, if you send me the event handling code, I'll integrate it into the source code.

hello 1. My tilde button does not work in pd for Windows, which is quite a pain in the... Am I the only one to have this problem? 2. When starting pd on Linux I get the message "Waiting for connection request". I think my network configuration is right. What do I have to do to stop pd waiting and getting on? Mik

for pd-0.26 - 26 Channels I/O
by Winfried Ritsch 23 Aug '99

23 Aug '99

hello, thanx for pd-0.26.. because I have been asked ... I just have finished the first version of the linux driver for the RME DIGI9652 (Hammerfall) Card which is a PCI Card that offers 3 ADAT-IOs and one SPDIF/AESEBU + Word Clock and ADAT TimeCode (see http://www.rme-audio.de/) I have it in use with Fostex VC-8s and it works great. The driver is a bit OSS-compatible but mainly a native version especcially for the card. (since multichannel and 24Bit are not directly supported by OSS) I made a first version of integration in pd-0.26, which works fine, but does not have the best performance. This will change in near future doing a memory mapped version, since the card does master-mode pci and only with memory mapped interface you get the best performance (No CPU-Power if no copying). I ask for people to test this with other configurations, since I think with my computer (PII-400MHz) and the digi9652 and a RIVA-TNT 32MB RAM Video-Card the bus is very much stressed and RAM access becomes slower ;-(, but I cant tell excatly ... (miller, how did you do the fast PCI128 driver thing ;-) I cant get the same latency, ...). the test versions are unter http://iem.mhsg.ac.at/programmier/ I will be used in a 24 Channel Installation at OK Linz during ARS-Electronica festival in Linz in two weeks. After that I will release a the mmapped version (hopefully working). It is planned to make an ALSA Driver out of this, but native support will stay. mfg winfried

> Well, the help says tha docs can be found in /usr/lib/pd/doc so why not put it there :). Actually, Pd tries to guess where the help is at run time, so it shouldn't matter.

> dont know about install, miller said something a while ago about that itwont install, i havent tried it. why would it not thoug? I think "make install" doesn't work on Debian (minor compatibility problems) but someone, I forgot who, has reported how you can change the makefile for Debian. I think that in RedHat you can just "make install" although I've never done that, since I don't see any advantage to it... cheers Miller

Recompiling PD

Hi I was just wondering... Is it still possible to recompile/autoinstall PD (linux)? (like make -f makefile and so on....) Cheers Soeren

> do the '"GETISPACE"/"GETOSPACE" ioctl calls.' work anywhere else than with the pci128 card? I think they work with my Opl2sa3 (Yamaha ISA) hardware. However I only get half duplex with them. cheers Miller

Hi all, I've put "pd 0.26 patch 1" for linux on the web site, www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html to fix things for people whose audio drivers can't hack "GETISPACE"/ "GETOSPACE" ioctl calls. In the patched version, if you invoke either the "-frags" or "-fragsize" flag the audio buffer size is managed the old fashioned way. In this case, the "-audiobuf" flag is IGNORED; set audio buffering with frags and fragsize only. If you don't invoke "-frags*" you get the (much better) functionality of 0.26. The linux Pd distributions on my site are tested for redhat only; Debian users may have to change some paths and remake. cheers Miller

Hi Guenter & Reine, Well, I hacked pretty hard on the sound support for 0.26 (so making "-audiobuf" use the GETISPACE/GETOSPACE ioctls for instance.) On drivers that support those features (like my Creative PCI driver) this works great, but apparently I really should be offering a "-stupid-linux-audio-driver" flag to go back and do it the 0.25 way with -setfragsize or whatever. I confess I don't know what the fragment size business even does, but on PCI128 it's nowhere as good as using GETISPACE/GETOSPACE. So I propose to try to put out a "patch" of 0.26 giving the choice, perhaps using Guenter's proposed flag name. Right now I'm trying to put out a new release of fiddle~ etc, so the "patch" might not hit the web until this weekend or so... cheers Miller
