no audio on g4/quicksilver under osX
by schurer 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

hello list, i'm trying to get PD (binaries) to run under mac osX on an apple powermac G4/867 (a so called "quicksilver" machine) and it won' t correlate with the onboard audio-out at all, on opening, it' s giving me some portaudio errors -9999 (may also see below) and there is no sound output at all (obviously). is it because the no. of audio channels is incorrectly set? as these machines do not have audio inputs, how would i have to change the script, so that it appropriately would make use of the audio hardware? i read somewhere on this list, that other users do have the same problem too on these machines, so i'm courious to know, whether they have found a way to address this issue (or not). the very same version of pd (0.35-0) runs without trouble on a powerbook g3, however, so i' m wondering if it' s some hardware related thing... any hints greatly appreciated. greetings, b~ pd [localhost:~] lollol% /pd-0.35/bin/pd could not open midi input device number 1: Host error. could not open midi output device number 1: Host error. using default input device number: -1 using default output device number: 0 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 8, framesperbuf 256 Error number -9999 occured opening portaudio stream Error message: Invalid number of channels.

Pack and changing values
by Dupras, Martin 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Imagine I have three sliders that control x,y and z to be packed in a pack object. Is there an elegant way to program this in such a way that any change of value triggers the pack? I need to do this many times in one patch, and I'd rather use a clean and elegant solution, if there is one. Thanks! - martin

by Enrique Franco 30 Jul '02

Hi there, Is there a step by step guide to getting pd to run in macOSX? I follow the directions in the documentation but I don't have any joy... What do I need to do after download the tcl/tk and the pd library? Cheers, Enrique

xeq compilation probs
by Michal Seta 30 Jul '02

30 Jul '02

Hi all (+ Krzysztof) I decided to expand my externs collection. xeq is part of my recent acquisition. But it refuses to cooperate. I get the following error: xeq.c: In function `xeqithook_applypp': xeq.c:611: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type make: *** [../xeq.pd_linux] Error 1 I'm on debian(woody) ppc, gcc 2.95.4, kernel 2.4.18 -- ./MiS

pd osx and xfree
by rutabegaa 29 Jul '02

29 Jul '02

Hello all... This may be a silly question but: I would like to try compiling pd on osx so that it runs with the tcl/tk under xdarwin instead of under the wish shell. I have tried various ./configure options but it seems like once the script sees that its on a ppc it goes for wish automatically... Does anyone know a way to specify that pd compile to run under xfree and ignore wish on OSX? ./configure --with-x doesn't seem to do it. -ruty

setting bounds in array
by Mirko Petrovich 29 Jul '02

29 Jul '02

hi all what is the current syntax for setting the bounds rectangle in an array ? I thought it was : ; array99 bounds xmin ymin xmax ymax example 16.more.arrays.pd (0.35) shows that y values are swapped. salud Mirko Petrovich

DSP externals
by J. Scott Hildebrand 27 Jul '02

27 Jul '02

i'm going over the HOWTO on writing externals, and to tell you the truth it's very difficult. my C/C++ skills are intermediate, and i'm having a hell of a time figuring this stuff out. does anybody have any simpler examples/templates? or possibly more info on what's happening behind the scenes and with each line of code? thanks, scott -------------------------------------------------------------------- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates, 1981 --------------------------------------------------------------------

table crashes in win98 from src/notes.txt
by David N G McCallum 26 Jul '02

26 Jul '02

I saw that a bug I'd listed a while back about tables crashing win98 was in notes.txt. I'm not using win98 anymore but I seem to remember that the problem, at some point, just went away, and not with a Pd version upgrade either. So I suspect it had something to do with my system and (maybe?) isn't really an issue that needs to be addressed. I'll leave that up to you, though. . . David McCallum .
