I did a Msys2 compile a few weeks ago:

./autogen.sh

./configure --with-pd=path/to/your-pd-sources --prefix=path/for/installation --without-ftgl

make

Then I copied "libwinpthread-1.dll" & "libstdc++-6.dll" from the compiler to a manually built Gem folder.

@Oliver: remember you discover a change on Pd post 0-48-1 thats stopping Gem to load. I just did it to try get Gem loaded and I could.

see this thread ---> https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2018-03/021538.html

This is just a starting point. May be you get what you need with this basic compile. I'm not a Gem user so I'm not sure.

does anyone in this wonderful PD-land by any chance got a self-compiled version of a recent Gem source for the windows platform that he/she would share ?

the reason i'm asking is:

the last official windows binary of Gem dates from 2011 (version: 0.93.3) and has the following bug (windows only):

https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/issues/156

the issue was declared closed on 14.11.17

so, i assume that compiling Gem from source for windows would be a way to overcome this bug, am i right here ?

now, sooner than i thought came the project, when i really need to be able to play back a big series of still images from recorded video input streams, so the Gem 0.93.3 windows bug strikes me right there.

and this is where i'm stuck:

the latest "self-compiling" guide i found for Gem is this one from 2014:

https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem/wiki/How-to-build-Gem-on-Microsoft-Windows-%...

but meanwhile a lot of things seem to have changed. i am using the latest MSYS. i recently successfully self-compiled a 64-bit version of PD, using this guide from Lucas Cordiviola:

https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2018-03/122089.html

is there a similar howto like this existing for (the latest sources of) Gem for Windows ? what would be the 2018 equivalent of the libraries mentioned in the 2014 guide (which MSYS doesn't seem to find)

any help in this regard is highly appreciated !

wow, I just realized Gem has over 2 thousand commits since 0.93.3

I wonder why 0.93.4 never came out

2018-04-19 9:30 GMT-03:00 oliver oliver@klingt.org:

hi, thanks a lot for your replies

@chris: yes, if you could post or link to a recent binary, that would be great !

@lucas: sorry, no luck here !

autogen.sh and configure.sh seem to work (i'm getting a similar config status like you posted). but the make process terminates after half an hour with an error i have yet to identify.

would you mind sending me your Gem binary so at least i can check if the "too many open files" bug is gone so i know it would be worth the effort to self-compile ?

thanks for all your inputs !

Here's a compiled Gem a few weeks ago: ----> http://lucarda.com.ar/x/Gem-for-oliver-test.zip

I didn't did a "make install" so it contains manually copying of certain files (the hole Gem-master folder is 500MB post compilation). I'm not a Gem user so I just opened a couple of helps and they worked.

hi, lucas !

thanks a bunch for your efforts ! only managed today to give it a try !

by and large your compiled GEM works, but unfortunately [pix_image] is unable to load any file (which was my main goal to achieve). same goes for [pix_buffer] of course. graphics and [pix_film] seem to work ok, though.

holding my breath for 0.94 ;-)

errors? (start Pd with "-verbose" AND raise the verbosity in the Pd-console to "debug").

thanks, sorry for being lazy here. doing so, i think i found the source of my problem:

start pd.com from the cmd-terminal (rather than double clicking on pd.exe) and check whether there's some interesting printout on the terminal as well.

no printout on the cmd-terminal

but in the PD window (among many other things), it says:

GEM: image loading support: SGI

i received this version from lucas, and i'm pretty sure it wasn't compiled with all image support stuff, because the official build (0.93.3) says:

Image loading support: QT SGI jpeg tiff

so i guess that is that.

..............................................

anyway:

here's the whole printout when loading pd with -verbose -noprefs -lib Gem:

This is what I get with "-verbose -stderr":

so i get less errors from your compiled Gem than you ;-)

strange ...

anyway ... even when i load an .sgi formatted image, [pix_image] actually shows it but crashes PD when i try to load another one ;-(

thanks anyway !
