I’ve built PD vanilla for a small linux computer (Next Thing CHIP) from source. It runs fine, but I don’t have the ‘extra’ objects like expr, choice, etc. I’m having a problem building the ‘extras’.

This seems like it should be pretty straightforward, but I guess I’m missing something?

why do you build Pd in /usr/local/lib in the first place?

the straightforward way would be:

• extract Pd sources somewhere in your home-directory (e.g.

/home/peter/src/pd-0.46-6)

• cd into that directory and build Pd
• finally run make install with the appropriate priviliges (e.g. `sudo

make install`)

• which will install everything into /usr/local/

in general i would recommend to not run Pd in the build place. and i strictly recommend to not put sources into /usr/local/lib/
