another Linux compilation problem?
by william sack 16 Nov '98

16 Nov '98

I tried to build pd on my Linux box last night and 'make' died with the following error: [root@t0ast src]# make cc -O2 -w2 -fullwarn -DUNIX -DIRIX -DPD -I. -I../tk/generic -I../tcl/generic -c -o ../obj/g_canvas.o g_canvas.c |& head -20 /bin/sh: syntax error near unexpected token `&' /bin/sh: -c: line 1: `cc -O2 -w2 -fullwarn -DUNIX -DIRIX -DPD -I. -I../tk/generic -I../tcl/generic -c -o ../obj/g_canvas.o g_canvas.c |& head -20' make: *** [g_canvas.o] Error 2 I'm using RH5.1 and the full Tcl/Tk distributions which I believe are in the right place: /usr/local/tk8.0.3, etc. I will grab the RPM and see if it works. In the meantime, does this look like an easily solved problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Sack __ __ ____ __ ____ __ bsack(a)primenet.com /_)/_) / / / / /_ / //_ www.primenet.com/~bsack/ / / \/ / / / /__ / \/ /___ /-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OSS Linux sound drivers
by Michael Lechasseur 14 Nov '98

14 Nov '98

How well are the commercial OSS sound drivers liked by PD in Linux? I've been trying them out in order to combine my Roland SCC-1 for MIDI, with my Sound Blaster 16 for digital audio. The SB16 works fine with RedHat's sndconfig program, but MIDI is not supported. I try the OSS, and I can get MIDI out to my MPU-401 on the SCC-1, but the audio of the SB16 dies. PD reports: pd: dacs died.. switching to alternate time source Anyway, I'm not too concerned, as there are alternate freeware drivers for my SCC-1, but I'll have to recompile my kernel, which I haven't tried before. pd and unix are going quite well otherwise..

RE: rpm of pd.23-4 (now 5)
by Charles Baker 12 Nov '98

12 Nov '98

I am happy to say, the latest pd-0.23 version (5) you have functions fine! I still don't know if the rpm package would work, since I compiled it myself. I have full MIDI and audio now.

7 questions on pd
by Johannes Michael Zmölnig 11 Nov '98

11 Nov '98

Hi folks ! Using pd on my very slow WIN95 machine I have a few questions which I ask you to answer... 1. Is it possible to use an initialization file, and does it make any sense ? (ThatÅ½s just because I have to use thousands of flags and this is hard work, especially when trying new configurations) 2. Why is it not possible any longer to use a working directory different from '/directory/pd/bin' in release 0.23 (although it was in the earlier releases) ? (ThatÅ½s just because I canÅ½t understand why there is a BINary directory if I have to put all my trash into it by default) 3. Is it possible to save arrays as soundfiles to disk (something equivalent to the READ16 message) ? (ThatÅ½s just because I donÅ½t want to convert saved arrays to soundfiles myself all the time, although I got some very beautiful and unexpected sounds :: in NOISETRACKER-format ??:?) 4. Is it possible to use more than one (stereo) IN-/OUTput, and if so, how ? (ThatÅ½s just because I have 6 or so audio-out-devices and 2 audio-in-devices on my soundcard) 5. Is it possible to switch off the MIDI-devices like the audio-devs ? (ThatÅ½s because I use Mark DanksÅ½ GEM on a PC without a soundcard, and I feel scared every timeall those horrible error messages appear on the screen) 6. Do self-made abstractions eat up all the ressources ? (ThatÅ½s just because my Pentium wouldnÅ½t do some patches, and so did IEMÅ½s SGI!) 7. Is it clever to use a Pentium100 ? (ThatÅ½s just because I donÅ½t think so) Thanks in advance, and so on... love Johannes-feeling-sorry-for-his-English M

PD on RedHat 5.1 - Success!
by Michael Lechasseur 11 Nov '98

11 Nov '98

You might remember that I couldn't get pd to run on a RedHat 5.1 system because of a problem with the Tcl/Tk libraries? I downloaded and compiled tcl8.0.3 and tk8.0.3 from www.scriptics.com with success. I had to install a the developer's pack for X, but that was it. I did a recompile of pd and it now loads. Now to install gem... Thanks for everyones help! Michael Lechasseur

pd for Linux: new release 0.23-5
by Guenter Geiger 10 Nov '98

10 Nov '98

Hi all ! I just released a new version of pd for Linux. <ftp://iem.mhsg.ac.at/pd/pd_0.23-5.tar.gz> This version adds startup file support and enhanced path handling. Due to the startup file I removed the possibility of setting the path for externals via the PD_EXTERN_PATH environment variable, instead pd now understands a new option "-path <extern_path>:<extern_path>:...", which can be put into the startup file ("~/.pdrc"). This path is used for externals and pd abstractions alike. The output of this feature is currently verbose, for checking itÅ½s functionality, but this will disappear in the next release. The format of the pdrc file is very simple. Just put the options into the file, one line each, instead of using them in the command line. Additionally the segmentation fault bug in MIDI handling is fixed. Have fun ! Guenter

Re: 7 questions on pd

Hi Johannes, Guenter having answered 1,2,6,7, I'll take a stab at: > 3. Is it possible to save arrays as soundfiles to disk (something > equivalent to the READ16 message) ? > > (That4s just because I don4t want to convert saved arrays to soundfiles > myself all the time, although I got some very beautiful and unexpected > sounds :: in > NOISETRACKER-format ??:?) Sometime soon I'll deal with that one. THere's an ASCII "write" which you seem to know about... > 4. Is it possible to use more than one (stereo) IN-/OUTput, and if > so, how ? > (That4s just because I have 6 or so audio-out-devices and 2 > audio-in-devices on my soundcard) Pd doesn't work that way; I'd like to be able to offer something along those lines later but only in the case that the cards can be synced together. > 5. Is it possible to switch off the MIDI-devices like the audio-devs > ? > (That4s because I use Mark Danks4 GEM on a PC without a soundcard, and I > feel scared every timeall those horrible error messages appear on the > screen) No, sorry; this would be useful and I'll stick it on my dolist. Miller
