Re: [PD] PD Mac OS X installers

(I am CC'ing the list because your message has useful info)

This current install on my pure-data.org page has a version of GEM
optimized for G4 in it already. To enable it, you need to add this
line to your ~/.pdrc:

-lib Gem

There are a few other libs which are included in this install. To use
them, you need: -lib iemlib1 -lib iemlib2 -lib iem_mp3 -lib iem_t3_lib -lib pdp -lib zexy

For GEM and PDP, you'll need to install a number of libraries as well.
I use http://Fink.sf.net to install them. If you have fink installed
already, running this command will install everything you need:

sudo apt-get install glut glut-shlibs gsl-shlibs libpng-shlibs libpng3
libpng3-shlibs libquicktime0-shlibs libmpeg libmpeg-shlibs ffmpeg

Hi Hans,

Thanks for getting back to me. I did get it all running in the end.

What I ended up was de-install everything, and log in as root before doing the install; I think that before that I was a normal user but had entered the root password during installation instead. In any case, it's now all working fine.

Many thanks on a great installer. Do you have any plans of making an installer that would also install Gem? That would be immensely useful for us. Just a thought.

Cheers,

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your reply. I don't have the computer at the moment so I'm doing this from memory.

At first I tried your installer and chose the default location. Everything somehow managed to install itself in the Applications folder, so I had Applications/bin, Applications/doc, etc, and Applications/usr/local/bin and so on. After that I tried installing into a brand new Applications/pd0.37 folder. Somehow this didn't appear in the installer (it let me choose it though), but that installed in there, but once again with the strange dir structure as above.

I'm not quite sure what is going on there, I'll have another look tomorrow. It looks to me like that for some reason the install
doesn't see /usr/local, but I don't know why that is.

I'll try de-installing everything and reinstalling from scratch tomorrow. Do you advise that I should specify /usr/local/pd as a destination, or something else?

Many thanks!

My Pd installer is definitely beta. I have only tested it on two computers personally. So let's figure out what the problem is so I
can fix the installer.

First question: did you change the install location or did you leave
it as default?

It should install Pd into: /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/pd

CVS externals into: /usr/local/lib/pd/extra /usr/local/lib/pd/doc/5.reference

And the Pd.command GUI launcher into: /Applications

Are most of the files installed there? Where else are they
installed?

Also, I don't know if things will work right if you have both Adam's and my installers installed. You can use OSXPM to uninstall packages.
You can get OSXPM here: ftp://us.osxgnu.org/pub/osxgnu/OSXPM/OSXPackageManager.sit

Hi,

I'm teaching PD this semester and because our labs are mostly G4,
I'm trying to install PD on OS X.

I tried installing both Hans's new installer and Adam's installer.
In both cases some things work OK, but things get installed in very

I have a feeling that being relatively unfamiliar with Mac OS X I am

Basically what I'm after is having a pd directory that contains all

to that folder (rather than absolute paths.)

Many thanks!
