Now I recompiled the Pd-0.44.0 release on Raspberry Pi (took me a few hours, not only because Pi is so slow)

Have you looked into cross compiling options much? there's plenty of arm7 support avail lst time I looked Just thinking out loud.... a.

I haven't looked at cross compiling options yet. Frankly, I'm fascinated by the fact that Raspberry Pi is self-supporting. All the GNU tools and other familiar deb packages working on a pocket size circuit board. That's why I like RPi (and not the Android/iOS gadgets). If you know what you're doing, you can start some job and leave Pi alone. In the case of compiling Pd, the job was interrupted by errors several times. Install instructions could be more complete. I should make some notes and post them.

I just set up an RPi chroot on one of the PdLab machines, it was pretty easy to do on Debian. Then you just run 'dchroot -d -c raspbian-armhf' and you have a shell in a virtual RPi. You can get access if you want:

Sweet. I'll give the chroot method a spin. I like working on native images this way, but when emulating on a host machine anything to do with networking seems to be a minefield. Which amplifies Katja's preference at being able to do it all in the real machine. The trade off is speed I guess. Emulate it until most is done and then tweak on the real board. I saw a few blogs about using qemu or virtual-box as an arm emulator, but the setup seemed quite involved.

With the chroot method, networking is entirely handled by the host, so that has been working pretty well for me. But I don't run network services in the chroot.

Here's how I did it:
