hi thomas
i decided to give it another go. i checked out the latest svn flext/xsample and py sources. so i did $ apt-get install stk libstk0c2a libstk0-dev libsndobj2c2 libsndobj-dev then i run $ bash build.sh pd gcc then edited the linux file config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt i noticed i needed to have the pd source, i think i got it from the pd-extended source. This is the content of config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt after editing
PDPATH=/usr/local/src/pd FLEXTPREFIX=/usr OUTPATH=pd-linux INSTPATH=/usr/lib/pd/extra STK_INC=/usr/include/stk STK_LIB=/usr/lib/libstk.a SNDOBJ_INC=/usr/include/SndObj SNDOBJ_LIB=/usr/lib/libsndobj.a #MFLAGS=-j 2 UFLAGS=-msse -mfpmath=sse -ffast-math OFLAGS=-O3 OFLAGS+=-march=pentium4
the again and finally $ bash build.sh pd gcc $ bash build.sh pd gcc install
it did not complain at all, then i tried to compile both py and xsample. All went ok but when i run PD it stays frozen exactly at the time of loading those externals. I tried removing them from extra and PD was ok again. Both of them cause the same behaviour. I guess some path or option in the config file is wrong. Any ideas? I think something went wrong because it did not install it properly as far as i can see. The flext/build.sh is not anywhere in my file system but in the svn checkout build directory. This directory is empty /usr/lib/flext but this file does exist /usr/lib/libflext-pd.so
Nice that i almost managed to get it done, but there should be a way to make this process simpler
Some ideas about the process:
i dont think this explanation in the docs could be a bit more elaborated "From a shell run bash ../flext/build.sh (you would have to substitute ../flext with the respective path to the flext package)" i know it is stupid but it took me few minutes to realise i need to run that script from the main folder of the code i want to compile. Also it would be nice to have a description of the compilation flags. I know this is printed by the script itself, but it is nice to know things before they happen.
It would be also nice not to have to find and edit the paths to all the libraries (STK, SndObj), this is quite confusing specially because some files names are not lowecase so initially i did not find them until i noticed it (sndobj.h was SndObj.h). But i guess this has to do with the autobuild you mentioned in your mail.
thanks.

Hi Enrike, it would be good to know what your problems were with compiling flext or flext-based externals. Did you start with the sources from svn.grrrr.org ? Compiling works as documented, so that you run "sh your_path_to_flext/build.sh pd gcc", edit buildsys/config-*.txt as the console says... run again, and install as superuser. This is the same for flext and flext-based externals. The reason that my stuff is not in the autobuild system is that noone has stepped in to help me with it (above all with the autoconf stuff). It seems to be pretty much working for unix, but not so much for Windows.

hi
just a wish, i dont want to puch anybody... it would be great to have py and xsample externals included in PD-extended 0.40.3 under Linux, like they were in previous PD extended versions.
I want to compile py, but first i need to compile flext. I started two hours ago and i am not getting much closer to getting it done. It is not so trivial to do. I do compile once in a while (jack, freebob and some apps) but usually i find it easier than this. I keep trying...
thanks anyway
