I did: cd pd/ cp tcl/*.tcl bin/ cd bin ./pd-l2ork
and got the same result:
hans@palatschinken bin $ ./pd-l2ork -stderr -d 3 set pd_whichmidiapi 2 pdtk_pd_startup {Pd version 0.42-6extended-l2ork-20121007 } { {OSS 2} {ALSA 1} } { {default-MIDI 2} {ALSA-MIDI 1} } {DejaVu Sans Mono} normal set pd_whichmidiapi 2

If you are not installing it onto system, copy TCL files into the pd/bin dir. Remember, this is a fork of 0.42. On Oct 24, 2012 9:07 PM, "Hans-Christoph Steiner" hans@at.or.at wrote:
I just tried the latest pd-l2ork from git, and it doesn't seem to start correctly. I did:
cd pd/src aclocal autoconf ./configure make ../bin/pd-l2ork
I also tried:
cd ../bin ./pd-l2ork
All I got was a great square window with no menu. I'm on Linux Mint 13 Maya amd64, which is basically Ubuntu/Precise.

It is only the draw command, not the communication...
BTW do either of you know why one would be getting pdtk_post { stack overflow } messages? Doors that mean the cpu is unable to handle all gui requests? On Oct 24, 2012 8:32 PM, "Hans-Christoph Steiner" hans@at.or.at wrote:
Thanks for that info. Sounds like a good idea in general. I personally can't think of any reason why the DSP would need to be on during the quitting. But for the 'redraw' part, that depends. If it is literally only redrawing that is suspended, that would be fine. But if its all Pd<-->GUI
communications,
that will probably cause problems.

Hans and Iohannes,
The following is FYI.
Several months ago I integrated the close all patches before quitting
patch
in pd-l2ork and since then I've been experiencing extremely sporadic
crashes
on close that would hang pd-l2ork. Now, I am not sure this is because
of
architectural differences between regular pd and pd-l2ork but I doubt
it
since most of the said components are very similar if not identical.
The bottom line is this only occurs on very low-powered machines (e.g. netbook) and relatively large patches and even then it does so very sporadically. Consequently, I implemented an improvement to the closing mechanism that consists of 2 additional steps and apparently alleviates
said
problems entirely:
- disable further redraws (this prevents calling functions that may be
referencing null pointers)--I have a special global var for this which
is
also being used to optimize redrawing (many actions in pd-l2ork are
several
times faster than regular pd as a result of this implementation--just
look
for do_not_redraw call in the source if curious)
- suspend dsp before going through the patches (all sub-patches try to
suspend it and resume it but for some reason, due to asynchronous
nature
of
communication between tcl and c funny things occasionally happen on low-powered machines, so this way we ensure it is entirely off
throughout
the whole destruction process)
Hope this helps!
