hi all,
I'm looking to get into PD, but am seriously confused by the mismatching releases abounding on the net. The PD extended is a 0.38 release, so far as I can tell, and some of the patches I want to explore require 0.39, so this is ruled out even if it seems the easiest solution for starting out. I thought it might be easy to just download the externals package but that doesn't seem to have been updated since 2003, which just screams deprecated.
Is there a tutorial or quick guide somewhere that'll point me in the direction of setting up a relatively complete (with most widely available extras/externals) PD install that'll play happy with my FC5/CCRMA machine? Am I better off waiting for the new extended release recently announced? Any thoughts?
regards
Michael John Noble
hi Michael
I'd recommend to use the cvs-version, since that seems to be the easiest way of getting of all externals the most recent version. also, it is really worth to install pd >= 0.39, especially because of the famous [list]-object.
first you need to install a cvs-client. then you just do (in a single line):
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data login
just press [enter], when it is asking for a password. then:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co -P pd
in order to download pd to your current directory, and in order to get all externals, do:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data co -P externals
then compile, compile and compile......
cheers roman
