Hi IOhannes,

Thanks for answering quickly, I like the name peerdata :-)!

I *think* things are going ok since I get this when I start the proxy with './startPROXY.sh' :

sys_nmidiin 0, nmidiindev 0 tk scaling is 1.82078853047 matchbox: OSC-pattern matching code (c) Matt Wright, CNMAT etc...

Then ./startDSP doesn't post anything (or return an error).

But then, I get : alx@tatlin:~/Documents/src/peerdata/peerdata$ ./startGUI.sh 192.168.0.148 % wrong # args: should be "pdtk_pd_startup version apilist midiapilist fontname"

I get another PD instance in which I can't load the audio + midi test patch. It loads a new patch named 'x82418f0'. I am able to create a new patch but I can't create an object within. I get this ->

'unable to create stub object in closed canvas!' and 'can't read "pd_apilist": no such variable'

From the FAQ, I found I should do the following as a workaround :

alx@tatlin:~/Documents/src/peerdata/peerdata$ cd /usr/local/lib/pd && pd -guiport 5500

But it fails to open a new instance of pd (it hangs without returning an error).

How do I get pd to find these tk variables?

Cheers,

Alexandre

Hi all, IOhannes,

Could someone point me to the patches necessary for collaborative live coding (demonstrated at the Montreal PD convention)?

https://svn.umlaeute.mur.at/svnroot/zmoelnig/projects/peerdata/

tell me if things are unclear :-) (documentation might need a brush-up)

Hi IOhannes,

I'm using : Pd version 0.40.3-extended-20071017

indeed it doesn't work even here with 0.41-1 :-(

the problem is, that i did make some assumptions on the protocol between pd-dsp and pd-gui (despite my claim of not doing so...)

i'll have a look at it asap

Hi IOhannes,

I'm using : Pd version 0.40.3-extended-20071017

indeed it doesn't work even here with 0.41-1 :-(

however, it _does_ work with pd-vanilla 0.40.0!

additionally, i was also able to use it with Pd-extended 0.40-3extended-20080503

however, i have not installed Pd-extended "properly", as it conflicts with my locally installed Pd, which i have no intention to lose.

this is how i did it:

1. "install" Pd-extended

% mkdir /tmp/zmoelnig/pde/ % dpkg -x Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080503-debian-testing-i386.deb /tmp/zmoelnig/pde/

2. start the proxy

% cd ~/peerdata % /tmp/zmoelnig/pde/usr/local/bin/pd -nosound -nomidi -stderr -path i686/:lib:. -lib zexy -open _PROXY.pd

3. start the dsp

% cd /tmp/zmoelnig/pde/usr/local/lib/pd % ../../bin/pd -guiport 5500

4. start the gui

% cd /tmp/zmoelnig/pde/usr/local/lib/pd % ./bin/pd-gui 5600

voila, everything seems to work (i can even open the "test audio and midi" patch)

admittedly it is a bit arkward :-) anyhow, i hope this helps.
