There are lots of docs for all this stuff here: http://puredata.info/docs/developer
INSTALL.txt is only easily modifyable by Miller, since it is part of
pd-vanilla. That chunk of the website is a wiki, so anyone can
contribute.
Also, Pd-extended 0.40.3 doesn't work well with Tcl/Tk 8.5, there are
some display issues. So stick with tcl84 for Pd-extended for now.
Part of the current pd-devel effort is to make things work well on Tcl
8.5.

I had several topics about compiling pd-ext (latest night build)

desktop:
- is it possible to add a line to INSTALL.TXT saying that ubuntu
users must
install tcl/tk-dev, and *not just* tcl/tk? That saves time and
pacience from
checking the list. (same applies also to pd van)
Well, that applies to *every* software that you compile on your own:
You always need the -dev or -devel packages (Fedora) installed. Now I know about it. I'm just saying that for anyone new, the same
will happen again.
- it would be also good that this file indicates which tcl/tk
version is
suitable to use with pd. I assumed the most actual version would
be good, so
I installed tcl/tk 8.5. Although it did build etc, when I try to
run pd it
complains that
/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.4.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
which I guess it means that tcl/tk 8.4 is necessary
Here Pd runs just fine with 8.5. Are you sure that version is the version you have just compiled and not an older version lying around? Check with "ls -l". I have no other versions around, this system is quite new. I just
downloaded the night build from 05-01. _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
