hi, i have just installed Pd on my new linux machine and it works!
i plan on working on eye-candy graphics controlled by sound. my first project is to port bomb (http://draves.org/bomb). after that i will work on a more modular and better intergrated approach to 2D graphics in Pd. in the meantime i have a lot to learn about Pd and GEM. i hope you will tolerate some beginner questions.
i have encountered two glitches so far:
The sound driver thinks my Sound Blaster ISA AWE64 doesn't support duplex IO, contrary to my understanding. Guenter describes a patch for PCI128 cards that sounds like it solves the same problem. Is this the right fix?
When I open 2B_sampler.pd in the doc, i get:
[spot@salvia src]$ pd -adc Pd version 0.24 test pd: opened /dev/dsp in read only mode pd: advance 34, samplerate = 44100, channels = 2 pd: starting engine MIDIlib: Found one MIDI port on /dev/midi00 pd: external fname = ./qsample.pd.pd_linux pd: external fname = /usr/lib/pd/externs/qsample.pd.pd_linux pd: external fname = turn/qsample.pd.pd_linux pd: turn/qsample.pd.pd_linux: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory pd: external fname = ./qgain.pd.pd_linux pd: external fname = /usr/lib/pd/externs/qgain.pd.pd_linux pd: external fname = turn/qgain.pd.pd_linux pd: turn/qgain.pd.pd_linux: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
is that a known bug? i don't know why it's trying to load a qgain object because qgain is just a subpatch...
