Is there a possibilitie of running PD on the new MacIntels? Any ideas about when there'll be a Universal version of the app?
Thanks in advance, João

Jamie got Pd/GEM running at the Apple developer conference last June. You will have to compile it yourself, but it should not be overly difficult - you need to have XCode installed for this (might come on a CD with the machine). Tcl/Tk will have to be built from source if an Intel binary is not available. There was no working audio on the test machines last year, but the new ones do have it.

...like cgc mentioned, it compiles and runs as of last years
wwdc ;-) It was really trivial to re-compile due to pd & gem's
crossplatform nature, but there are some issues which will need to be
ironed out, and that should just take an hour or so of actual work on
an actual mactel...

...I really don't think we want to distribute a Universal version of
the app, unless we just do the app itself and no cvs externals: the
App package that hans has put together is already in the neighborhood
of 80MB's, so adding the x86 libs would likely double that, which is
a bit much for an app, I think...of course, not all of that is loaded
into memory, but it's a bit unwieldy to expect people to download
when new releases come around...
...so I think we'll have separate apps for ppc and x86...
...haven't ordered mine yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

since it has been brought up could you mention your opinion on how this will effect GEM in particular

noteobok video cards are getting better all the time. and on OSX, unlike Linux, the ATI cards will prabably have a good driver...
iow: good times

GEM on MacIntel should perform like similar hardware does under Windows or Linux.
