Hi,
I am not really clear on how one is supposed to compile pd. There are instructions for downloading and unpacking it, and for testing but I am unclear on how to compile pd. I would appreciate if someone could direct me to the proper information.
In /home/schwaahd/pd-0.27/src I did a :
make -f makefile.linux SOUNDDRIVER=ALSA
This is correct, though there should be a symbolic link from makefile -> makefile.linux, making it possible to edit the makefile and then type make.
This made a : pd and pd-gui show up in ~/pd-0.27/bin
Then everything compiled correctly.
I can get pd to sort of turn but it can't seem to find the pd-gui. I feel like I am missing some thing basic but fundamental. I am new to Linux and PD so sorry if this is a really dumb question.
The problem is that PD is trying to guess about the layout of your files by grabbing the current working directory. I assume that you added pd/bin to your path and then typed pd? If so, this can be solved by starting pd from the pd/bin directory or installing pd in a different way - by putting pd in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin and putting everything else in /usr/lib/pd and /usr/local/lib/pd respectively. I think make install will do this for you but I have not tested it.
Thank You -Darwin
Redhat 6.1 ALSA .0.5.6 Ensoniq AudioPCI/1371 K6-2 475Mhz
One note - ALSA native support for .5.6 is only available in pd .30 and must be explicity enable by starting pd with the -alsa flag. Hope this helps.
