gcc web assembly backend
by Chris McCormick 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-03/msg00044.html tl;dr: soon it will be possible to compile libpd into a bytecode blob that browsers can understand and run very efficiently, using a toolchain Pd already uses to build. The result will be a "web native" version of Pd's core that runs in browsers. (I'm hand waving away a lot of hard work that other people will do to get this working.) Cheers, Chris. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

So... how about "application specific" folder (the "extra" folder)? I think that's important to include. It's what I prefer anyway... I had included it but you removed, can I put back? If not, how come? for windows, you have - %AppData%\Pd will be something like C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Pd But seems wrong, I have here ob my machine: *C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Roaming\Pd* Now, a question... about User-specific~/.local/lib/pd/extra (since Pd-0.47-1, *preferred*)User-specific (deprecated)~/pd-externals (older Pd-versions; still usable) why is this new form preferred? cheers

Re: [PD] versions of libraries from extended in deken (was > Different versions of iemguts library in Deken)

please keep the clarity of 0.0-extended version name. i'm still working with Pd-extended on older machines, while at the same time doing development on more up-to-date systems. keeping things 'in sync' is already a challenge enough. rolf

soundfiler features
by Ed Kelly 03 Mar '17

03 Mar '17

Apologies if this is a distraction. The soundfiler object is clearly fundamental to digital music. I think it needs a makeover. I'm willing to help, but it's been getting particularly difficult and I think, unnecessarily complicated to create patches that automatically load a folder of sound files which may be mono or stereo (or even quad?).Since this information is contained within the header of each file (although it's a pain with the different formats), would it not be sensible to have a second outlet in soundfiler that delivers the number of channels, before the number of samples in the file is delivered from the left outlet? Perhaps also other info, but what would be relevant to a patch? I think channels is a necessary piece of information. I prod you for a feature, and I probably have as many of these cattle prod moments hitting me from behind as I work on my patches.

Different versions of iemguts library in Deken
by David 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi! Does anyone know why the iemguts library is at different version levels in Deken, depending on whether you're running PD on Windows, Linux or Mac OS? For Windows, it shows v0.2.1, but for Linux and Mac OS, it shows 0.0. The reason I ask is that I developed some patches using iemguts/initbang under Windows, but it seems initbang doesn't exist in v0.0 for Linux. Is v0.2.1 available in binary format for Linux, or do I have to compile from the source? Thanks, David.

libpd - Multiple instances of Pd
by Giulio Moro 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Hi, I was wondering if this is still a wanted feature and if anyone did some further work on this beyond what is here https://github.com/libpd/libpd/blob/master/samples/c/pdtest_multi/pdtest_mu… I peeked through the Pd Vanilla (0.46) source code last night, and I am under the impression that in order to allow more instances to coexist in a thread-safe way, all it takes is for each instance to have its own copy of "t_pdinstance *pd_this" and for all the calls that currently use the global pd_this to take an additional argument " t_pdinstance *pd_that". But I also think that if it was that easy, someone else would have tried already. So, before I dig into it just to hit a well known limitation, does anyone want to share their experience? Thanks, Giulio

No, I haven't tried purr data yet. When I have more time, I will, but I need to get this working quickly. Because I couldn't find the latest version of the library for Linux, I ended up ditching iemguts, since the only thing I needed was 'initbang'. I developed a workaround, so now I don't need it. I just added another inlet to the subpatches that used initbang, and send it a bang from the main patch when it's loaded. Thanks.

by Alexandre Torres Porres 02 Mar '17

02 Mar '17

Howdy, there are two versions of v2.2.6svn from the same date and everything and for all operating systems. Can't see any difference from them... Only one of them, for mac os, is as "(darwin-i386-32)(darwin-x86_64-32)" and the other as (i386, amd64) - but htey both work on my mac... What am I missing as the difference from these two compilations? cheers

Linux Global folder for externals
by Alexandre Torres Porres 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Linux people. According to: https://puredata.info/…/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help… <https://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files> The Global folder for installing externals is: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals Now, I got ubuntu studio 16.04.1, I had Pd installed with it and I also compiled a new version myself... BUT... I can't find this so called folder. Is this really the global folder? Do I have to create it myself always? cheers
