yes, but a bit too many (and none is called "how to sucessfully
compile pd-ext in intrepid 64b").I installed the hundreds of Mbs of packages described in http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Debian (Intrepid 64b here). After I went to http://puredata.info/docs/developer/GettingPdSource
and tried the rsync -av --delete rsync://128.238.56.50/distros/pd- extended/ pd-extended/ thing, which didn't do much more than nothing
else after downloading 100Kb of data.Anyway I don't know if it should be necessary to mirror the whole
cvs, neither am I interested in keeping that around. Shouldn't it be
enough to download one of the night builds? I'm also not interested
in building a .deb installation file, just want to put pd in my
system.I went again to the src folder of the latest nightbuild (http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2009-01-15/pd-2009-01-15-linux-ubu... ), and did the ./configure + sudo make install ritual. After
installing and tried to run pd, the result is - surprisingly (or
not...) - the same as before: "error while loading shared libraries:
libtk8.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory".
That means that you don't have Tk 8.4 installed. Perhaps you missed a
line in the instructions?
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/Debian
Something like:
sudo aptitude install ttf-bitstream-vera tcl8.4 tcl8.4-dev tk8.4
tk8.4-dev
.hc
[a note: as the final result is the same, maybe it wasn't really
necessary to install all the packages described before. at least I
didn't notice any difference during the make/install process]In case it's important to look at the results of what I just
described, they're in http://pastebin.com/m43402a32.INSTALL.txt is only easily modifyable by Miller, since it is part of pd-vanilla. That chunk of the website is a wiki, so anyone can contribute.
Also, Pd-extended 0.40.3 doesn't work well with Tcl/Tk 8.5, there are some display issues. So stick with tcl84 for Pd-extended for now. Part of the current pd-devel effort is to make things work well on
Tcl 8.5.
