pd-0.26 uploaded to Debian
by Guenter Geiger 21 Aug '99

21 Aug '99

Hi there ! I've just uploaded the Alpha version of pd for inclusion in Debian 2.2. The Intel version will hopefully be done by Debians autocompiler. I would like to hear is, where people have problems with 0.26 so I can fix that and/or write down instructions how to avoid them. Guenter

Hmm, can't say that I know what the problem is, since I am still working on Linux yet. However, next week, gem 0.81 is going to be released (sorry that 0.80 for un*x got skipped). Things might work better there... By the way, the "no rule to make target "../Base/m_pd.h"" means that the makefile didn't realize that m_pd.h is really over in pd/src (ie, it isn't a GEM file). Sounds like the dependencies got screwed up.

Linux and Latency
by Guenter Geiger 18 Aug '99

18 Aug '99

Hi Miller ! Looking through the code I realized that setting fragmentsizes is disabled in the Linux version. This is actually a good thing, as pd is more likely to run on any sound hardware/drive combination. Still it would be good if there is a commandline option to tune the soundcard buffer size (prob through the -audiobuf flag). This would make it possible for people to decrease latency. As ost reported, he still has problems with audio on his notebook. This could be due to the GETOSPACE/GETISPACE calls in the calcspace function. (As I remember I had problems with this calls returning wrong values). Is it possible in these cases to block, or maybe better use select ? Together with a "-very-stupid-soundriver" flag in the startup options. This is just a guess about the remaining soundcard problems, but as ost said that his previous version of pd, which probably blocked in theses cases, worked for him it might be a valid one. On the other hand, the right way would be to fix the driver :) Guenter PS: Congratulations to version 0.26, I really like it.

>... my Debian2.1 system ... ... > make: *** No rule to make target > `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/stddef.h', > needed by `g_canvas.o'. Stop. I'm mystified... I couldn't find any references to /usr/lib or to redhat in the makefile, so I don't know why, on a Debian system, the C compiler is looking there. It feels like a C compiler configuration problem. I'd like to hear if Pd can run without crashing on someone else's Debian system or not... Miller

Hi all, For those of you who can't do HTTP (e.g., company firewalls) I've thrown a copy of Pd on an old-fashioned FTP site at sdfelix.ucsd.edu. Log in as "anonymous", cd to pub/msp, grab what you want. Miller
