Hi all,

Thanks for the advice! It turns out I was abusing the make command line in my ignorance.

Imagine my sheepishness when I saw I only had to type ‘make’ without all the arguments.

Comport compiled and working. And thanks for the kindness.

 How about apt-get install pd-comport?

Not sure this helps:

### get the comport sources

from https://git.iem.at/pd/comport

extract the pkg.

### compile

cd the terminal to the extracted folder an do

 make

if the compiler can't find "m_pd.h" do

 make PDDIR=<path to your Pd installation">

if you want the output striped and on an specific location do:

 make PDDIR=<path/to/your/Pd/installation" PDLIBDIR=<path/to/ouput> 

install.

### post back your compiler errors (if all the above fails)

### Deken

most likely you don't have to install Deken.

You access it from Pd's menu: help/find externals or also from the web

 https://deken.puredata.info/results.html?name=comport

I have no experience at all with any Raspberry Pi but it looks that yours is an arm6 architecture. Without really knowing what I'm saying it looks that you won't find binaries for that arch on Deken.

Hi all,

This is going to be a stupid question for all of you, but please know that I have scoured Google for this answer, and I still can’t figure it out.

I’m running a patch on a Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1.2 from 2014.

My collaborator needs the patch to use a comport object to speak to an Arduino.

I cannot get the comport source code to compile on the Pi. I don’t know enough to understand the error (that’s coming from ld) no matter how much I read.

I cannot get Deken to install (as I’ve been told I could get the comport object that way). I use apt-get install - and it returns no errors. But when I try to run Deken, I get ’Self-installation of Deken failed’

Here’s os-release: PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="11" VERSION="11 (bullseye)" VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs%E2%80%9D

I’m running Vanilla Pd 0.51.4

So my burning question is: how can an eejit like me get a functioning comport object into Pd?

Thanks in advance,

Kerry
