Howdy,
I just tried HC's Pd-0.39test2-extended-RC0 installer and found a couple of major performance issues when using a patch that runs fine on Linux. First was that any [send~] or [outlet~] objects after the first in a series would not function unless they were remade after the patch opened. Second was that the response time to graphical input slowed to a crawl for the entire system, not just PD.
So I downloaded Miller's pd-0.39-1test1 source to compile it and see if there was a major difference between the devel branch and the straight branch in this case. I already discovered that all the .app packages on Miller's site don't run. The 0.39.0 app reports an "unknown audio API", and there is no preferences menu to switch to Jack anywhere. And the 0.39-1test1.app doesn't get past the intial tcl/tk stuff.
But compiling doesn't work either. It has trouble with the Portaudio includes:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/QD.framework/Headers/Video.h:294:
error: 'kPowerStateSleupCanPowerOffBit' undeclared here (not in a function) ../portaudio/pa_mac_core/pa_mac_core.c: In function 'InitializeDeviceInfos': ../portaudio/pa_mac_core/pa_mac_core.c:347: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned ../portaudio/pa_mac_core/pa_mac_core.c: In function 'CopyInputData': ../portaudio/pa_mac_core/pa_mac_core.c:398: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned ../portaudio/pa_mac_core/pa_mac_core.c: In function 'CopyOutputData': ../portaudio/pa_mac_core/pa_mac_core.c:427: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned make: *** [../portaudio/pa_mac_core/pa_mac_core.o] Error 1
Incidentally, even if I do a ./configure --disable-portaudio, it still tries to build with it.
At this point I'd rather compile like I'm used to than use one of the .app files. Suggestions appreciated.
thx, d.
