Hi PD'ers
Some of my friends at Aalborg University are working on an interactive installation and are considering using PD to do some of the work. The problem: they are Mac people! So: will PD run under Linux on a Mac? Has anybody had any succes with that? Can it be done? It will have to be recompiled, for sure.
Cheers

still no hands on experince on this -- there was somebody at ircam i ve heard of who was supposed to be actively working on pd + linuxppc .. i can try and dig out a contact if he isnt on this list anyhow? ;) glub -- On Wed, 22 Sep 1999, [iso-8859-1] S�ren Bovbjerg wrote:

i once tryed this and was partly successful. i used a 7100/80, MkLinux DR2.something and pd 0.22. compiling went ok, but the audio output was stuttering and you could not adjust the buffer because there was no proper sounddriver. this result is no wonder regarding the resources of the machine, now... ;)
i would suggest using LinuxPPC which seemed to prove more stable than MkLinux. also there are OSS drivers available now.
i know of a guy who had this combination working on a G3 Laptop (first series). opt, what was his name... -> japan.
sure ROCKS on a G4 500Mhz... :)
also there was rumours on the list that someone worked on porting pd to macintosh and already had a very basic version ready...
best, g

I had tried it on LinuxPPC R4. Actually I did on MkLinux DR3 as well but moved on to linuxppc very soon after that.
LinuxPPC was, at the time much more stable and FASTER than MkLinux. I got rid of the linux side on my mac long time ago tho.
Impressions: I hadn't had the proper sound driver (there apparently was a commercial OSS that was working well in full duplex but only for a specific version of the kernel). pd compiled fine. And that's good because I'd have no idea how to make it compile well. The sound however was distorted. I had to scale my outputs by 0.01 to get a sine wave that yu hear in the demo patch. And I had the same problem with CSound...
Also I could put more oscilators in pd than MSP on the same machine (ppc 7200/120).
Hope this helps.
I would like to know i anyone actually runs audio on a Linux/PPC box that would make i worth getting back to linux and pd on a PPC.
