Update 2 – an important thing I forgot to mention is that I’m running Dan Wilcox’s arm64 version now. That may be why the mystery shutdown stopped happening. I don’t understand why things were even partially working before with the i86 version if it was an architecture issue (and shouldn’t I have been asked if it should run under Rosetta?) Color me confused.

At any rate, I’m making progress. I have some code upgrading to do. I have a zillion mrpeach/routeOSC objects that I have to update to vanilla [oscparse].

Update – I’ve gotten my full system to open with by doubly-opening the associated patches the first time they were accessed.  (After that first time, they open on first double-click.) I’m not fully up and running yet, but at least I’m able to tell what’s not properly configured and proceed. No more mystery ‘shutdown’!

Hello all,

I’m moving to an M1 MacBook and trying to get my Pd system configured. I’ve installed 0.52-1.really, copied my libraries and patches, set my paths, and can actually load and get sound out of one of my synth objects. However, when I try to load my (large) configuration, Pd quits immediately.

1) Is there any way to collect more error diagnostics – which startup flag(s) might be useful here?

2) I may have botched an earlier install – how do I insure there are no lingering (bad) settings from it? I worry that some system security setting is silently failing me.

If anybody has had similar experience with a Silicon Mac, please chime in. Thanks very much.
