pd-0.21 on linux...
by Charles Baker 07 Mar '98

07 Mar '98

Finally got pd-0.21 to compile on my linux platform. Mea culpa.... I had installed 'egcs' , an experimental gcc 'improvement' (even higher degrees of optimization than standard gcc available ...someone on the csound list reported a major increase in speed in csound compiled with this compiler)...the compiling went without hitch, and it reported linking ok, but died when the egcs linked binaries tried to dynamically link in libc . Which means, before any pd code even got called. So I changed back to "cc" (a link to the real gcc),and voi-la! (voi-ci?) Like my mid-western buddy always says: "like, weird, with a beard, man...." Onwards into the OSS world, and hopefully, full duplex on linux . Anybody else seen the problem I found on NT (dacs often die almost immediately, but when they don't they function perfectly.)..I betcha this has to do with the multiple soundcards I have on my system....I will try the new args to specify card/midi under NT. You know, it's nice to have the source! CharlieB

Any Linuxers having problems closing patches?
by Larry Troxler 06 Mar '98

06 Mar '98

I just merged the 0.20->0.21 changes with my personal mods, using msp's distribution. However, I now can't always close patch windows (using the File/close menu) - the window stays and I get a string of messages in the console about nonexsting objects. Does anyone else have this problem? If not, I can assume something went wrong in my merge, and I'll try from a pristine 0.21 build. A related question: are the msp and GG 0.21 tarballs now identical when compiled for Linux? I assume they would be, but if they're not, maybe that's my problem ( I got 0.21 from msp, and not from Guenter) Thanks in advance! Larry -- Larry Troxler -- lt(a)westnet.com -- Patterson, NY USA --

hmmm... did you "make -f makefile.linux depend" before "make -f makefile.linux"? Miller/Gunther... is there *any*comprehensive object list? Can one be easily generated? Any new objects floating around amoung us "early adopters"? I havn't been so excited about code since....well, you can tell I have no life, huh? ;-) CharlieB

compile...
by Burton Alexandre 05 Mar '98

05 Mar '98

hello linux pd-ers... i've been building and using pd on SGI's for a few weeks now, and i just tried compiling it on my linux box. I tried to simply copy the makefile.linux to Makefile, but it craps right away complaining about "stubs.h". My linux experience and setup is quite new, and I indeed have no /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h and was wondering it was part of what package i should get... I'm based on slackware 2.0.27, upgraded to 2.0.33, running on i586/200. there is minimal info on the Linux port (which i don't mind) but i'm stuck even before starting! i guess someone here will be able to help me on this one! thanks a lot. Alex Burton. p.s. about how many pd-on-linux people out there?

getting pd to work in NT? or linux?
by Charlie Kilpatrick 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

Hi all, I seem to be having problems getting pd to run on NT. The error message I get in a little dialog box is: The instruction at "0x100162bf" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "read". And the output in the command prompt window is: Pd version 0.21 compiled Thu Jan 15 08:52:27 PST 1998 port 5400 c:/pd Waiting for connection request... ... connected pd: ADCs on; DACs on waveInOpen: A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system. waveOutOpen: A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system. midiOutOpen: There is no driver installed on your system. There are no MIDI input devices. pd: running. I've tried this on a couple different puters running NT, but to avail. It does work if I run it with the '-nosound' or '-adc' options, but then I hear no sound. :) To tell you the truth I'm a little baffled by this because I've written a program that calls both waveInOpen and waveOutOpen and it works perfectly. Also, from first glance my source is basically the same as that in pd, with the one exception that I use the more recent structure WAVEFORMATEX rather than PCMWAVEFORMAT. Alas, I've modified pd's code to use that new structure but the same errors occur. (In fact, I'm not sure this should have any effect because actually I think the data alignment is the same between the two structures (except for an extra word at the end of WAVEFORMATEX), just the field names are different). I'll take a closer look at what is different between the two programs later, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems? Also, I've tried to run pd in linux. I cannot seem to compile it, however. The error message I get is: make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h', needed by `g_canvas.o'. Stop. This file does not exist in my /usr/include/gnu directory. Does someone have this file? Could you send it to me? The only file that is in that directory currently is types.h on my system. It is Debian distribution and my kernel 2.0.33. Thanks much for your help, Charlie

Problem reloading page/array file.
by Larry Troxler 03 Mar '98

03 Mar '98

I think there's a bug in 0.20. For example, I load the patch below, which was initialy created by placing a "page" object, then placing an "array" into that page, which gets the symbol "array1". It seems like everything is ok, until I restart PD and reload the patch, and then "array1" is unknown. (For example, "read array1 xxx" doesn't work. Does anyone else have this problem? Larry (If possible, please CC to lt(a)westnet.com, since the pd-list has been a bit unreliable for me) #N canvas 0 0 621 549 8; #X floatatom 50 124 0; #N canvas 0 0 600 400 /SUBPATCH/ 0; #X graph graph1 0 -1 100 1 200 320 600 20; #X array array1 100 float; #X pop; #X restore 44 10 page; #X obj 48 82 get array1 y; #X floatatom 54 51 25; #X connect 2 0 0 0; #X connect 3 0 2 0; -- Larry Troxler -- lt(a)westnet.com -- Patterson, NY USA --

Miscelaneous questions
by Larry Troxler 28 Feb '98

28 Feb '98

- The scope~ object is still under construction, I presume? I ask this because it appears there is no way to specify the geometry. - There is a "get" object but no corresponding "put" object for arrays - should I code one, or is this array system going to change anyway? - I load a sound-file into an array (I modified my copy of the "read" message to do this, which also resizes the array to the size of the sound-file). Now, how can I obtain the size of the array from within a patch (so I can play it using tabread4~). Perhaps the better question is whether array objects are really intended to be used for sound-files? I realize that this software is still being constructed, so please don't take any of the above as a criticism! Larry -- Larry Troxler -- lt(a)westnet.com -- Patterson, NY USA --

It looks working with no problem, and 3d text is very cool :-) By the way, distance parameter's behavior is something strange. Is center value is zero ? And I have one more question. Is this correct behavior ? 1) by default the value is zero 2) once changed to other value 3) then set it zero again 4) the result is not same as first > pix_video for NT is in a pre-alpha state...if anyone can get > anything to appear, please let me know.
