Thanks, Orm, that worked.

I was able to install, but there are two problems: a) the Media menu doesn't give me options of sound servers to connect to (JACK, ALSA, OSS, etc.), and I'd like to use Pd with JACK, and b) externals don't seem to have compiled. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks, Roman. I did sudo make uninstall and then sudo aptitude build-dep puredata, then autoconf and ./configure again (also tried it with --enable-alsa), then make depend and sudo make install, but I still get the same problems. Am I doing something wrong?

I am not familiar with pd-extended in particular, only with compiling puredata, but since perform those commands from ~/Pd-0.41.4-extended/pd/src, I assume, it's very similar there.

./configure should already give you a hint, whether your Pd will support alsa or jack. Alsa should be auto-detected, and jack will only be auto-detected, if you enable it.

So do:

$ ./configure --enable-jack

and check, if you see those lines:

.................... alsa= yes

and:

checking for jack_set_xrun_callback in -ljack... yes

If both checks return yes, then only it is worth trying to compile the whole thing (Don't know about OSS, but this probably comes with alsa).

As mentioned by Hans, in order to compile all the externals you probably need many more packages installed. My suggestion with 'sudo aptitude build-dep puredata' installs only the packages required for building the Pd part of Pd-extended. So for the rest, please follow Hans' advice.

I guess you can either compile them manually in the externals directory or try out the scripts. I've tried the ./pd-extended-auto-builder.sh and i got this error message:

recordQT4L.cpp: In function ‘lqt_file_type_t guess_qtformat(const char*)’: recordQT4L.cpp:96: error: invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char*’ make[3]: *** [recordQT4L.o] Fehler 1

Maybe you have more luck. I'll try again later with a newer version of the sources.

you have to update to a more recent version of Gem, 0.92.3 (https://pd-gem.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pd-gem/branches/0.92/Gem) should be ok.

Thanks for the help, everyone! I was getting the same error Markus got, but then I followed the "Pd-extended between releases" instructions and managed to get to make install, whereupon I got a huge wall of errors, so I decided I'd just use vanilla Pd for the project I'm working on. But if anyone has a working build of Pd-extended for UNR 9.10, I'd love to see it.

I am using pd-extend from the Nightly Auto-Builds on Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10

it is Pd version 0.42.5-extended-20100318

Didn't built it, just used the .deb

Excellent, the most recent nightly autobuild works for me. I got just a gray Pd console when I tried it before, but it must have been a momentary glitch (or I downloaded the wrong .deb accidentally), because everything works perfectly now. Thanks!
