anyone has compiled PD under Ubuntu linux?
For x86 Ubuntu, you can simply add unstable Debian apt-get repositories and get PD and family as deb packages. You might try the same thing with the PPC version, and hopefully the PPC developers have PD in there and up to date.
The line I added to a friend's x86 Ubuntu /etc/apt/sources.list was:
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/12/06/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
Then do an: apt-get update apt-get install puredata
and use: apt-cache search [packagename] for the other stuff.
This should get you PD, GEM and several other externals [if you find them by package name, of course], but not PDP or PiDiP. I don't know of any PPC debs for those.
Ubuntu should have synaptic installed, if you prefer a GUI for package management.
i have recently installed ubuntu on my mac and today finally found some time to try to compile Pd and some other apps i need. I get different errors when compiling ....
I'm afraid you won't get much help if you don't post the errors. On Linux, you can select the output in the terminal and use the middle mouse button to paste it someplace else [like in an email to the PD list]. This probably won't work with the Mac mono-button trackpad, however ;-)
I dont know Linux very well so i am not sure what to do to solve it.
Post copious output to as may lists as you can!
