Re: [PD] flext install (for another amateur)

Hi Chris, i have now looked into the Pd-extended 0.43.4 package. The layout of
files has been changed in a way that it is incompatible to the flext
build system (and also to the autoconf version). I will have to see how i can fix this. What you can do for the time being is download Miller's vanilla
version and compile your external object using that. You can then use
the binary with pd-extended as well. all the best, gr~~~

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot for your help.

Seeing as I have not actively installed gcc from any other source I
suppose it must be the one from the xcode/developer sdk. Btw, my sdk
is 'MacOSX10.6.sdk' - the one appropriate for osx 10.6.8, afaik!

My Pd (extended 0.43.4) installation does actually contain the
g_canvas.h file in /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/ include/pdextended

I have the config-mac-gcc...etc file pointing PDPATH to / Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources ...need I point a
different variable to ....Resources/include/pdextended in order to
see the header files?

Cheers,

other source (fink, macports)? It seems that your platform SDK is somewhat strange, judging from
the autoconfig build as it doesn't contain BlockMoveData and
BlockZero. As for the buildsys build, it seems that your pd distribution (pd- extended?) doesn't contain the g_canvas.h file, which is a header
file "private" to pd, but necessary for flext to work. Some pd
distros do contain it, while others don't. Btw., there's a mailing list specialized to flext matters. all the best, Thomas -- Thomas Grill http://grrrr.org

Hey folks,

I have been trying in vain to install flext (cvs download) on my
10.6.8 snow leopard Mac. I've tried it every which way - both using
the buildsys and autoconfig - and just cannot get the bugger to
build. I have refreshed before each try with a new copy of flext
via cvs.

Using autoconfig I seem to get this error during build:

flutil.cpp: In static member function ‘static void
flext_single::CopyMem(void*, const void*, int)’: flutil.cpp:33: error: ‘BlockMoveData’ was not declared in this scope flutil.cpp: In static member function ‘static void

And using buildsys these errors:

I am pointing the variables in the txt files to the correct
locations, of that I am sure. I have also begun with a fresh
install of Pd-extended 0.43.4 - could this be it? Too new-a-build?
Need I use Pd vanilla to get flext to play ball? I'd really rather
not as I already have a bunch of stuff invested in Pd-extended and
I want to avoid having to compile countless externals just to run
the same projects in vanilla (though this would be a very long- winded option).

Your helpings are highly appreciated.

Cheers, CJ.
