i managed to compile pd from CVS. was easier than i thought ! (this was the very first time i used CVS)
now my question:
when there are some new features in the CVS version of pd, can i just get the sources again with:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co pd
It's much easier: Just use "cvs update" in your checkout directory. You might get some messages about merged changes or such, that's why I normally keep two trees of cvs: One to compile and make minor local changes, the other for the upstream versions.
and compile it again ?
or do i have to 'deinstall' the old compiled pd first... (actually i've newer compiled pd twice, i used to update my linux more often :)
After the update, just "./configure && make && make install" it again. No need to deinstall the old version (normally).
btw. i have my sources in '/usr/local/src', is this the linux way ?
You can put it whereever you like, as long as you can remember, where you've put it. But wait, there's "locate" so you don't even need that. ;)
(why do i ask, i had to chmod this folder before the users could use it)
That's because normally only root can write below /usr. I tend to unpack Pd sources in my home directory like ~/src/pd/... because of that. (I "su" to root before doing a "make install" there.)
