hi derek
anyone has compiled PD under Ubuntu linux?
For x86 Ubuntu, you can simply add unstable Debian apt-get repositories and get PD and family as deb packages. You might try the same thing with the PPC version, and hopefully the PPC developers have PD in there and up to date.
The line I added to a friend's x86 Ubuntu /etc/apt/sources.list was:
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/12/06/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
Then do an: apt-get update apt-get install puredata
and use: apt-cache search [packagename] for the other stuff.
ok, I never used apt-get before so this is good time to get into it :) I will try this.
This should get you PD, GEM and several other externals [if you find them by package name, of course], but not PDP or PiDiP. I don't know of any PPC debs for those.
Ubuntu should have synaptic installed, if you prefer a GUI for package management.
Yes, it is there i have used it few times, i guess i have to dig into it a deeper.
i have recently installed ubuntu on my mac and today finally found some time to try to compile Pd and some other apps i need. I get different errors when compiling ....
I'm afraid you won't get much help if you don't post the errors. On Linux, you can select the output in the terminal and use the middle mouse button to paste it someplace else [like in an email to the PD list]. This probably won't work with the Mac mono-button trackpad, however ;-)
Yes i know. its just that i am still setting up my modem connection in Ubuntu (taking me ages) so i am wrinting from OSX and i cannot remember the error, I should have pasted it into a text file. I will do it next time.
and this reminds me that i cannot try the app-get until i solve the modem problem ... great.
I dont know Linux very well so i am not sure what to do to solve it
Post copious output to as may lists as you can!
i will
many thanks
