Hi dmotd, many thanks for yours explanations !
- is there a simple way to have and manage differents pd
(vanilla, extended, gui-rewrite) with differents versions on the
same computer ?just compile without installing.. and launch pd from the command
line using ./pd or something similar,ok
I'll do that, don't install, and run ./pd from src directory because :
for something more sophisticated choose a different install target
for each build and build a script that chooses version at /usr/bin/pdI think configuring '--prefix=' at each compilation will be too
confusing for me.
- I would like to use the latest sources, nightly build was just
fine for me on 32bit
better anyhow, the latest stable candidate of extended is not
designed for 64bit and needs to be heavily patched.ok , a bit sad but I'll continue to try to compile and use the 64bit build
As far as I know, there are no 64-bit issues with the core of Pd-
extended 0.41.4. Not all libraries work at 64-bit yet though. The
more people who use 64bit means more people finding and reporting
bugs, so they can be fixed, so I am glad you are taking this project on.
You could start with Pd-extended 0.42.5, which has not been released
yet, and is a bit rough.

- but I also need to have a method to build a stable pd-extended
release if the latests sources give me pd crashes (I do Audio/ Video live shows and performance and stability are very important
on scene...)if you seriously want reliability then make a 32bit partition and
install 32bit ubuntu 9.0 (or better still try an older more tested
version of ubuntu) besides a lot of array based objects that have
not been thoroughly ported to 64bit, 64bit pd is not propperly
tested and needs a bit more time and attention. for performance
stability stick with the tried and tested approach.ok Until now I always used nightly-build or pd-extended release on
32bit, and I can easily come back to this solution : I have an other 32bit debian lenny on the same laptop, but I would prefer to use the same OS for test/create and
performance...good luck.. if you seriously want to build for ubuntu 9.0 x86_64, be prepared for a bit of frustration.. heres
some extra reading - albeit out of date:http://puredata.info/docs/developer/BuildingPdExtended64bitUbuntuIntrepid http://puredata.info/docs/developer/64BitLinux
ok
I'll retry using theses instructions I read on this page that :
Download the source package for Pd-Vanilla 0.42.4, extract it, and
use it to replace the Pd core source in the Pd-0.40.3-extended
folder. I did this as the 0.41 pd-extended core does not (as yet)
have the 64 bit table bug resolved (tables are only read half way).
Hopefully in the near future this step will not be necessary.I'll try this method and try with the pd's svn source as well
thanks for your time and links !! It is a bit more understandable for me :)
