I have ported PD to FreeBSD 4.3 (if you can call fixing a few compilation issues porting). It runs quite well on my laptop, but I will make no garuntees that it will run on anything else. There are some issues:
did anyone who has access to an osx box try to compile it there ?
I haven't tried this (I do have an osx box) because the sound system is quite a bit different. Other than this, my assumption is that it will compile fairly easily.
- Full-duplex does not work and locks up my system. This is either a problem with the soundcard driver or the OSS emulation.
did you succeed with any other app opening /dev/dsp rw ? then you could give d13b's piperead~/write~ objects a try, though they won't exactly lower the latency times ;), I'm currently using this to run pd on a machine wo any soundhardware.
I also wrote a minimul full-duplex test program using the native freebsd audio api (which is refreshingly simple and well thought out). It also rebooted the system. My assumption is that there is a bug in the drivers.
