Re: [PD] pd in 64 bit machine

Hi everyone,

I recently got a new 64 bit machine and I want to know if there are real advantages by installing a 64 bit OS.

All I want to do in that machine is to work with Ardour, pd, and maybe a copule effect-boxes for live signal processing and recording.

I didn´t see 64 bits packages on puredata.info, why is that?

as has been discussed in the archives:

• there are 64bit packages of Pd-vanilla available on plain Debian (and

probably other distros) - why not use them?

• Pd has not been 64bit-able before 0.41; since Pd-extended only just

reached 0.40, there have been no 64bit builds made available

• now that the next Pd-extended release includes a Pd that can handle

64bit, there is still no autobuild machine available; you can help by sponsoring (or setting up your machine to do autobuilds)
