Does anyone have copies of these two externals (creb and flatgui) for the Raspberry Pi? Or know where I can find the source code? For some reason, they're available for Windows, but not for the Raspberry Pi.
Thanks.
Thanks, I found most of them and was able to install them. I'm still
missing two that don't seem to be in the repository, 'creb' and 'flatgui'. Maybe they're no longer supported by anybody. Any idea if they might be in some other repository?
I only have two repositories registered at the moment:
http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian jessie main, ui http://mirrordirector.raspian.org/raspian jessie main, contrib, non-free, rpi

Hi!
I have PD v0.46.2 installed on a RPi3 under Jessie. I'm trying to
install
some externals by using 'sudo apt-get install pd-<insert name here>',
but
I'm just getting "Unable to locate package ...". There was a posting on
the
raspberrypi.org forum saying that this method worked, but the posting
was a
little old.
this method has worked for more than 10 years or so, and there is no sign that it will stop working anytime soon. anyhow, chances are that you misspelled "<insert name here>". when using
apt-get install, you must use the *exact* package name.you can get a list of available packages with
$ apt-cache search ^pd-
this will simply list all packages that start with "pd-"; afaict it only contains pd-packages; and it only misses Gem, which goes by the package name of "gem" for historical reasons.
on a jessie/amd64 system this lists about 56 packages, on stretch/amd64 it's about 92. on arm (e.g. the raspberry), you might get fewer packages, as some might not be available on this architecture (though a quick look at the Debian archive suggests that the only package missing from arm is pd-scaf, which you have probably never heard about :-))
anyhow, you could also use a graphical package manager to do some interactive search for available packages.
Is this the best way to install externals on a RPi? Is there a
repository I
need to add to find them? The latest version of PD available in the
Raspian
repositories is v0.46.2. Maybe I should install v0.47, but where can I
find
it for the RPi?
in the mailinglist archives :-) anyhow, installing Pd-0.47 won't magically make more packages available via the apt package manager.
