who still needs Pd 32 bits for macOS and why?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 06 Feb '21

I was discussing this with Eric Lyon cause we're getting an official fftease 3.0 release out soon (heads up). It seems that people who need this are the ones who still use some externals that were only compiled for 32 bits. So I guess the question should be "which relevant externals are still only available for 32 bits?" The new macOS systems are 64 bits only, sooner or later we'll all have to provide 64 bit builds for the relevant externals out there. I haven't checked them all thoroughly but it seems that all externals from Pd extended are available in deken for 64 bits, right? So I can't see why people still need 32 bit versions. Or I mean I don't know which library is still 32 bits only and I guess what needs to be done is just get them compiled for 64 bits anyway, and I could help with that. cheers

64-bit Pd works fine on macOS 11 (Big Sur). As far as I recall, all of the external builds from Pd-extended were compiled as "fat libs" with ppc, 32, & 64 bit intel. On a related note: The bigger move is to support Apple's new arm64 architecture (currently the M1 cpu). I have a new MBP with an M1 and Pd builds fine. The current issue is that building the custom Tcl/Tk we need for macOS has issues and we are waiting for them to be fixed upstream by the Tk devs. Externals will need to be recompiled to support the new arm64 architecture and this can also be done with "fat libs" that can support both x86_64 (Intel) and arm64. For now, running the Pd 64-bit Intel build works fine, more or less seamlessly via Rosetta 2. > On Feb 6, 2021, at 4:12 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 5 > Date: Sat, 6 Feb 2021 12:11:58 -0300 > From: Alexandre Torres Porres <porres(a)gmail.com <mailto:porres@gmail.com>> > To: Jean-Marie Adrien <jm.adrien.mnt(a)gmail.com <mailto:jm.adrien.mnt@gmail.com>> > Cc: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] who still needs Pd 32 bits for macOS and why? > Message-ID: > <CAEAsFmjqaQhBLaha2x4evsqwB1=sVykkz2SwWeTwqhTYupnHoQ(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CAEAsFmjqaQhBLaha2x4evsqwB1=sVykkz2SwWeTwqhTYupnHoQ@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Em sáb., 6 de fev. de 2021 às 11:53, Jean-Marie Adrien < > jm.adrien.mnt(a)gmail.com <mailto:jm.adrien.mnt@gmail.com>> escreveu: > >> What about big sur ? > > > I installed it just to test, I don't really use it, but I could install Pd > and also get an old library like "unauthorized" from deken and it worked. > I tested the "grid" GUI external and it was fine.

Hello, For linux user, I create a vanilla aconnectgui, in order to replace Iohannes version (that depend on zexy). Iohannes : fell free to adapt and include it the aconnect package if you wish. Cheers Cyrille
