Hi all,
This is fan mail for Pd on Tiny Core Linux onn Raspberry Pi.
TCL is a 50 megabyte GNU/Linux distribution which is immutable-by-default and runs very well on the Raspberry Pi.
I managed to compile Pd and got it to output a test tone which is why I am posting here. To do it yourself:
make -f makefile.gnu
inside the src directorypd -nogui mypatch.pd
from the bin directoryIf you want to launch a Pd patch at startup add your command to /opt/bootlocal.sh
So far this seems like fertile ground as an alternative to the Raspbian distribution with its multiple-gigabyte bloat. Seems perfect for embedded Pd devices like guitar pedals, synths, and what-not.
Tiny Core Linux does not use systemd.
Cheers,
Chris.
