Re: [PD] [PD-dev] Pd-dev Digest, Vol 120, Issue 1

Whoops, responding to list this time. We needed a place to keep a pd-vanilla mirror for libpd. I'm aware of "pd-projects" but it seemed like both the wrong name for that as well as containing too many disparate projects. We also needed a good place to start experimenting with hosting "build externals for pd" scripting which is why I responded to Katja. > On Mar 9, 2015, at 8:41 AM, IOhannes zmölnig <zmoelnig(a)iem.at> wrote: > >> >> >> Am 09.

uzi redundancy and how to load kalashnikov as uzi
by Alexandre Torres Porres 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Hi there, there seems to be some redundancies regarding the "uzi" object. I'm in Pd-Extended 0.42-5, not sure how this is now at 0.43. There's the cyclone one, but there is also a [kalashnikov] object (from "ext13") which I like cause it's a bit more convenient to sweep arrays (cause the numbered bangs go from 0 to n-1, unlike the cyclone version). Though [kalashnikov] can also be instantiated as [uzi], I can't create it as [uzi] unless I have a [kalashnikov] created first. Seems there's a bug problem with its alias. Weirdly enough, though I can create it as [ext13/kalashnikov], I can't do it as [ext13/uzi] even after I first created the object as "kalashnikov". I wonder if there was any way of using it as [uzi] or [ext13/uzi] without bothering how to spell kalashnikov. Moreover, the cyclone version has upper case U... we were discussing here if we could make a lower case alias, but it'd get in conflict with other [uzi] objects around... one way around would be to be able to load [ext13/uzi]... And there's another [uzi] from "purepd", which is an abstraction and also a clone of max that is quite redundanct and probably was best to just delete it from the package. cheers

how to completely remove pd (vanilla/extended) on yosemite?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 09 Mar '15

How to nuke it and make it as if Pd (vanilla or extended) had never ever existed and the system never saw it before? I had ways to do this before, but things seemed to have changed cheers

Help with libraries on OSX
by Martin Dupras 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

I'm trying to install the HoaLibrary (and the CreamLibrary that it apparently relies on) on my system, but I'm having no joy. I have installed the libraries in /Library/Pd and added those to the paths in the preferences. I've also added the libraries to the startup flags: -lib c.library -lib hoa.library which seems to work since I get in the console: "Cream Library by Pierre Guillot © 2013 - 2014 CICM | Paris 8 University Version Beta 0.3 (Jul 18 2014) for Pd-Vanilla HOA Library by Julien Colafrancesco, Pierre Guillot & Eliott Paris © 2012 - 2014 CICM | Paris 8 University Version Beta 2.1 (Jul 18 2014) for Pd-Vanilla" However, when I try to open any of the help patches, many of the objects do not instantiate, and I get red warnings saying this: "WARNING: duplicate 'externals' library found! '/Library/Pd/HoaLibrary/externals' is active '/Library/Pd/CreamLibrary/externals' is duplicate WARNING: duplicate 'helps' library found! '/Library/Pd/HoaLibrary/helps' is active '/Library/Pd/CreamLibrary/helps' is duplicate WARNING: duplicate 'misc' library found! '/Library/Pd/HoaLibrary/misc' is active '/Library/Pd/CreamLibrary/misc' is duplicate" Does anyone have a clue what might be wrong? The libraries are not, in fact, duplicates. There's only one instance of each. Cheers, - martin

VLC plugin - missing openGL headers
by Csaba Láng 07 Mar '15

07 Mar '15

Dear list, I have a fresh ubuntu 14.04 install on my old intel 32 based laptop. Trying to install from git the latest Gem, but without success. After configure it says that openGL headers are missing. Trying to get it but no luck. Is there a simple way to get Gem VLC plugin worked? Now pd says there is not VLC backend, and it is true, as in the usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem folder the gem_videoVLC.so is missing. Thanks: Popesz

object to find closest value in an array
by Alexandre Torres Porres 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

I'm wondering if there's an object that can find in an array which is the closest value in the array ro an input value. Say I have an array/list of *1.1* , *2.2* , *3.3*, then I give as the input the number "3" and the object outputs *3.3* I've done this as a patch already, but I wonder if theres any solution that's "ready made". thanks

Sounds good. How are you handling getting the object graph info into and out of the pd core?

Chris and I have some ideas on this and it would not be very difficult, as opposed to either restarting Pd-extended or building an entirely new gui/app. We have a start but, I hate to sound like a broken record, neither he nor I have been able to put any time into it yet. Hopefully soon. The basic ideas is a simple set of scripts which help you download rebuild library binaries or optional download and build the sources. As a start, they could be integrated into Vanilla as a gui plugin. Again, totally doable right now for an "extended" vanilla. > It might work better to switch to a model of > > separately maintained libraries > > I vouch for that as well as I've been suggesting it too.
