Hallo, Ken hat gesagt: // Ken wrote:
i'm on linux, fedora core 3, planet ccrma, which comes with *some* externals.
does the pd-extended package compile on linux, or do i have to download install all the other externals i want/need by hand?
Well, actually I don't know of any distribution which really has all externals packaged. However building the externals on Linux is not a big deal, if you use check out the CVS. Now how to compile best is an ongoing discussion. You can get most externals by just changing into the directory "externals/build/linux" and typing "make && make install". Alternatively if you have "scons" install you can chdir to "externals/build" and type "scons && scons install". You can set the prefix to install to by creating a file "custom.py" there which contains just the line:
prefix = "/usr/lib/pd"
With both methods you may get error messages regarding missing libraries or headers, which you need to install using your distribution's packages and try again.
The externals based on flext (like pool) are not included in both build methods, but they are easy to build from CVS as well using the flext build system. It's described in the file "build.txt" in grill/flext/
Easy instructions: $ cd grill/flext/ $ sh build.sh pd gcc <edit the file buildsys/config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt> $ sh build.sh pd gcc $ sh build.sh pd gcc install
and for pool etc.:
$ cd grill/pool/ $ sh ../flext/build.sh pd gcc install
