Ok so I tried with gem
0.93.git b8b6549, both ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10, still crashing even with only gem_videoVLC and gemglutwindow plugins.I'm going to try again from a fresh install, perhaps some crap of my yesterdays tries is still here and there. I guess I still have to try with pd0.46 and/or lua 5.2.
One thing, with gem0.93.git b8b6549 I need to manually add gem path when starting pd, it doesn't find it automatically and adding the path in preferences is not saved. Is it a normal behaviour ?
I put below the process I aways make when installing a fresh pd-extended, perhaps there is some old line that doesn't work anymore that could explain why I can't have it work here when it's working nice with others.
So :
*install ubuntu (or mint) then upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
*install pd-extended (from pure data site)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pd-extended
When trying with 14.10 I manually change unicorn to trusty in /etc/apt/sources.list
*compile gem (from labomedia wiki)
sudo apt-get install git-core automake autotools-dev build-essential libtool
sudo apt-get build-dep puredata gem pd-pdp
sudo apt-get install libdc1394-22-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev ftgl-dev libmagic++-dev libgmerlin-dev libmpeg3-dev libavifile-0.7-dev libquicktime-dev libdv4-dev libv4l-dev libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev libgmerlin-avdec-dev libassimp-dev <- used to have libglut3-dev but it's not present anymore so I removed it
cd Gem
aclocal
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install this puts Gem in /usr/local/lib/pd/extra, I move it in pd-extended extra folder manually
sudo mv /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/Gem /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/Gem-old
sudo cp -R /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra
With mint it's enough, with ubuntu I have to add a "sudo apt-get install vlc" else the plugin is loaded but disabled in Gem
Is there anything wrong with my procedure ?
