Following the FLOSS manuals, I'm trying to open Pd with the jack flag and I get the 'usage:' message and jack is not included in the audio configuration flags. These are the audio configuration stuff
audio configuration flags: -r <n> -- specify sample rate -audioindev ... -- audio in devices; e.g., "1,3" for first and third -audiooutdev ... -- audio out devices (same) -audiodev ... -- specify input and output together -inchannels ... -- audio input channels (by device, like "2" or "16,8") -outchannels ... -- number of audio out channels (same) -channels ... -- specify both input and output channels -audiobuf <n> -- specify size of audio buffer in msec -blocksize <n> -- specify audio I/O block size in sample frames -sleepgrain <n> -- specify number of milliseconds to sleep when idle -nodac -- suppress audio output -noadc -- suppress audio input -noaudio -- suppress audio input and output (-nosound is synonym) -listdev -- list audio and MIDI devices -oss -- use OSS audio API -alsa -- use ALSA audio API -alsaadd <name> -- add an ALSA device name to list -pa -- use Portaudio API (default audio API for this platform: ALSA)
I've already started jack with the -d firewire flag, and it seems to be ok, but Pd won't let me use this flag. Any ideas? I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and Pd-0.44-3

this means, that the Pd you are using has been compiled without jack
support. (when running ./configure you have to *explicitely* enable
jack with the "--enable-jack" flag)
why don't you just use the "puredata" package that comes with ubuntu?

I guess I'll have to recompile then

Just thought of compiling vanilla from source and importing any external libraries I need afterwards. Dunno why really, it's good for practice maybe..

BTW is there any good reason to not have --enable-jack by default?
cheers, y

my guess: jack is a dependency that cannot be expected to be installed on all (linux) environments, whereas ALSA can. so if you want to produce a binary that will run out-of-the-box on most systems without having to worry about dependencies, it's easier to do without jack.

good point.
I might submit a patch later which adds jack flag instructions to INSTALL.txt.

Also, an 'issue' I have is my firewire sound card, which I don't know how to utilize without jack. Does the puredata package that comes with ubuntu include jack?

the puredata package for Debian is built with jack. since ubuntu uses the Debian package, it will most likely have jack support as well.
you could simply check the dependencies of the package: $ aptitude show puredata-core | grep jack
