hi
anyone has compiled PD under Ubuntu linux? i have recently installed ubuntu on my mac and today finally found some time to try to compile Pd and some other apps i need. I get different errors when compiling .... I dont know Linux very well so i am not sure what to do to solve it.
thanks

For x86 Ubuntu, you can simply add unstable Debian apt-get repositories and get PD and family as deb packages. You might try the same thing with the PPC version, and hopefully the PPC developers have PD in there and up to date.
The line I added to a friend's x86 Ubuntu /etc/apt/sources.list was:
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/12/06/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
Then do an: apt-get update apt-get install puredata
and use: apt-cache search [packagename] for the other stuff.
This should get you PD, GEM and several other externals [if you find them by package name, of course], but not PDP or PiDiP. I don't know of any PPC debs for those.
Ubuntu should have synaptic installed, if you prefer a GUI for package management.

I'm afraid you won't get much help if you don't post the errors. On Linux, you can select the output in the terminal and use the middle mouse button to paste it someplace else [like in an email to the PD list]. This probably won't work with the Mac mono-button trackpad, however ;-)

Post copious output to as may lists as you can!

ok, I never used apt-get before so this is good time to get into it :) I will try this.

Yes, it is there i have used it few times, i guess i have to dig into it a deeper.

Yes i know. its just that i am still setting up my modem connection in Ubuntu (taking me ages) so i am wrinting from OSX and i cannot remember the error, I should have pasted it into a text file. I will do it next time.
and this reminds me that i cannot try the app-get until i solve the modem problem ... great.

what's your problem? what's the error?

i dont remember well, some libraries seem to be missing ... whas it tcl maybe?. I will try later again and copy the error to post it to the list. its a pitty because Ubuntu looks quite nice but i have tried compiling PD, Audacity, wxpython, and none works. its gonna take me time to make it work.

imo, ubuntu is a rather silly alternative to normal debian since its limited itself to GNOME apps. there are just as many if not more QT apps..which are arguably more user friendly on a xp/osx level. but there are still options for ubuntu:
one is add sid sources to your list: echo "deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update
youll now be able to install all the ppc audio apps that agnula/demudi/other maintainers have added to debian unstable. they include pd, sc, ardour, rosegarden etc..
or you should simply be able to compile it on ubuntu after doing this:
apt-get install libjack0.80.0-dev alsa-base alsa-headers xlibs-dev tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev gcc g++ automake autoconf

Maybe first try to compile "hello world" (apt-get install hello), then this more complicated packages? (I'm not joking.)
It sounds like you don't have the "-dev" packages for the libraries install, which are needed by those source packages. Compiling should work with apt-get (again) if you do a
$ apt-get build-dep <packagename> $ apt-get -b source <packagename>

first i need to configure my modem properly ... But i will try "hello world" first to test when i manage to get online - if internet still exists by the time i get it working :)

the error is about some tcl header I paste it at the end of the mail, i couldnt copy it, but i checked and i do have tcl 8.4 installed, weird, maybe is not the whole thing and there are as you say some packages missing?. I will email to the ubuntu mailing list to see if i can get a better picture of the problem.
thanks to all for the tips

You miss tcl-X.X-dev
For compiling, you not only need the library, but also the header files of a package, and those are split up into "-dev" packages on Debian- rsp. -devel on Redhat-based systems.
