hi
i am still including the pd-list, i hope this is ok for you.

Thankyou Iohannes, this pretty well gives me the confidence to go ahead and upgrade through Athlon. The fact that you (and presumably others in dev) are working towards double arithmetic precision is very encouraging (I'm pushing the limits on some models now and noticing noise and artifacts at extreme cases)
probably some more things to note: the double precision stuff is not directly related to amd64: it should work as well on powerpc and i386.
while i don't have problems with amd64 and Pd, there are other programs that don't fully work: in CM the most noteably is SuperCollider3, where i haven't been able to get the language-part running on 64bit the last time i tried; i hardly ever use SC3, so that it not a big deal (but then: probably i hardly ever use SC3 because it doesn't work on amd64)
and just a generic advice: even though i am happy with the amd64, probably somebody else should have their say too. chances are high that i only have a very narrow view...

Which sources can anyone suggest to build from?
I installed 0.39.2 from the amd64 Debian repository and it's a disaster, a list of bugs too long to mention and all round erratic behaviour, including the CPU usage randomly jumping to 200% with the most trivial patches. Completely unusable.
How did you build yours Pat?

Hi andy, I usually build the last vanilla test package,
http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm
and use cvs for externals,abstractions,and extensions.
Before, I need to install tcl-tk devel packages (you should give a try with tcl-tk-8.5, it's neat ;)).
By this way I remove many reasons for pd to not be build correctly, I don't always get good stuff from cvs, and apt almost always provide too old stuff, they don't seem update often enough the PureData packets, ;D.

Also if you don't use to compile with linux, use have to install the tools for compiling, like autoconf, automake, gcc, g++, libc, alsa-devel, jack-devel, don't forget to put --enable-jack --enable--alsa at ./configure. The externals dependances will come in doc files or errors during compilation. if you want to build pd-extended, you might want look at this:

I dunno about gridflow (often changing) and flext (the complete install is not easy, I suspect flext isn't ready for 64bit distro), but Gem is easy to build from it's cvs:
I suspect flext isn't ready for 64bit distro)
Currently flext and flext-based externals compile on OSX in 64 bit
mode but i'm going to check whether everything is ok before
committing to the CVS.
I can't make any comments on 64 bit linux because i can't test on
this platform.

If only I could help, I gave a try with cygwin (using mingw compiler libraries and includes) and ubuntu64, but I had to give up because of insufficient knowledge for compiling flext. Next time I give a try, I could send you the log files, and maybe we would be able to fix issues...
Hi Patrice,
i'm currently finishing the autoconf build system for flext and flext-
based externals. When published i'll definitely be happy for feedback
on 64-bit linux systems.
