Re: [PD] PD + Gentoo

derek,

1. Has anybody actually built Gentoo's PD 0.37 ebuild? Jack breaks the

compile of it on my machine, and when Jack support is removed, then it breaks because of gcc 3.3. Both of these are documented bugs.

I build pd myself.

2. Has anybody else compiled PD manually on Gentoo, only to find that it

doesn't start up with ALSA [although it runs with Jack fine?]. With the HDSP, PD will open the GUI, but will not connect to the sound card. Also, no files can be opened or started in this state. Something to do with non-interleaved mode.

i have the same problem. haven't look into it further just yet.

3. [As a sidenote:] does anybody else find Gentoo's ALSA packages

incomplete? Mine are missing Alsaconf, hdspconf, hdsploader and probably some other odds and ends.

you have to do 'emerge alsa-tools' or 'emerge alsa-utils' to get the hdsploader and (new to me) hdspmixer. i forget which one.

best -august.
