Hi list,
After installing pdp i haven't had the time to actually play with it, but this whole week i'll use to get started. I want to use a video-camera for live-input, but don't know which object to use. I tried pdp_v4l but this object won't create.
tried /Users/sara/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/doc/pidip/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /Users/sara/pdp_v4l/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/doc/pidip/pdp_v4l/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions/pdp_v4l/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions/pdp_v4l/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l/pdp_v4l.pd_darwin and failed tried /Users/sara/pdp_v4l.pd and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l.pd and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/doc/pidip/pdp_v4l.pd and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions/pdp_v4l.pd and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l.pd and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/pdp_pidip_osx/abstractions/pdp_v4l.pd and failed tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/pdp_v4l.pd and failed pdp_v4l ... couldn't create
I have a usb webcam [philips ToUcam PRO II ] and a DV-camera [Sony TRV900; firewire] and either one of them I would like to use. Could anyone give me the first steps to get one of those devices connected to pdp?
Thanx.
Sara

...sure: first step would be to port v4l (video 4 linux) to mac osx...barring that, you could try to write an object for native video input on osx, perhaps using the already working GEM pix_video object as a guideline...otherwise, I'd just use gem and pdp together, with the gem2pdp/pdp2gem bridges...

Current programming [dis]abilties prevent the first two options ;-)
But in the case of using the pdp2gem/gem2pdp bridges, there is still one problem:
There is no Makefile for OSX in Yves' tarball of pdp2gem/gem2pdp. Does naybody have a working makefile or compiled binary for these two objects for OSX [ver= 10.3]?
Thanks, Derek [+ Sara]
