Hi all,
i think i had the same problems as Carlos on linux (xubuntu dapper). i had to comment out compile options in order for pyext no to crash pd at startup. it was also quite difficult for me to find it out. what are those flags good for by the way?
# UFLAGS=-msse -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math # OFLAGS+=-march=pentium4
ah, i remember... you are using an AMD cpu, right? I think there was a problem with SSE, which is more a gcc or cpu bug than a flext bug. The flags are normally good for some speedup, but it's a good idea to comment them out for testing purposes. Carlos, is your machine also AMD-based?
i did not understand why we would need wget in order to automatize the pyext build in pd-extended?
i can see that building flext and py/pyext for all platforms automatically can be a bit of a headache because there are many steps but they are very logically ordered.
it's one step for the flext library and one step for each additional flext-based external. Not really a complication....
greetings, Thomas
