Miller, all other devs, contributors etc.
Thanks for the new release!
Quick feedback from a *very* quick session on Ubuntu 10.04.
Compiled and installed with ./configure --prefix=/home/lorenzo/bin/pd-vanilla so this is not a full system-wide install test.
Which ./configure? The one in pd/ or the one in pd/src/?
The one in ./pd-0.43-0 (the top level) generated by running ./autogen.sh
- Everything went well audio works with both alsa and jack. alsa-midi
also works.
- Maybe due to specifying the PREFIX I don't get the error dmotd gets
- Where does pd pick the path for gui-rewrite plugins?
http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files
In my case it seems to search in /home/lorenzo/src/pd-gui-rewrite/startup/ which actually relates to another development version I was messing with.
Perhaps that's from your ~/.pdsettings?
Yes. It's in a pathN (path2) variable. So basically if I understand correctly gui plugins are treated like externals? That is if I place a plugin in /foo/bar and that path is in the ~/.pdsettings file it will be loaded at startup?
- As for the aesthetics issues. I'm personally happy with the
'standard' white canvas (fonts seem to be erratic at every install): would it make sense to create a simple configuration file in the form param=value holding the values as in he example Hans provided maybe with simpler-to-read entries (making it up):
canvas.bgcolor=#E1E1E1 canvas.fgcolor=#000000 canvas.fontface='DejaVu Sans Mono' canvas.fontsize=12 ui.bgcolor=#D3D3D3 ui.fgcolor=#000000 ui.fontface='Dejavu Sans' ui.fontsize=12
The Tcl/Tk 'option' command is not far off of the above, and its much better documented, and well known by many people, so there are more people to ask. Here's an example:
http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/scripts/guiplugi...
Ok, good point, I agree. Probably effort duplication.
Ciao, Lorenzo.
.hc
etc.
That's it for now. Ciao, Lorenzo.
