Hello,
Thanks to some help from the list and the ever-useful pd-list archives, I was able to successfully compile OSC externs for PowerPC linux; I'm planning to do many many more externals soon. It took a while though, and I would like to save other ppc users the trouble if I can (especially for reinstalls, etc). As I go through and compile these, is there any constructive place to be putting them to share with others? I didn't find anything like that during my searching, and it appears to me (though this may be completely unfounded) that ppc-linux has a slowly growing base of users as more distros support Apple processors. I suppose I could make my own page, but I have no server at the moment.
Or is Hans (or anyone else) interested in getting a pd-extended ppc Linux release going? I would be happy to help in any way I can.
Kevin
as a ppc linux user I'm really interested yes! I could host it if it is the only solution. I am really busy these days but I can do it soon. I'm also working on compiling pd extended on ppc linux, so far everything worked but pdp had an error and I can't get gem to compile either but I didn't have the time to do it properly.

Hey! This is great news!
I have just installed Ubuntu ppc and am having battles with the realtime kernel, but I'm glad to hear there are other folks into this. Once I get the kernel sorted out I'll be moving on to pd-extended, although there's a pretty good 0.39 package in Ubuntu. Anything I can do to help...

Just for the record: Since several kernel versions personally I'm running a vanilla kernel - built following this howto: http://demudi.agnula.org/wiki/Low-latencyKernelBuildingHowto IMO the latency is way enough for Pd.

Thanks for the advice, Frank. Does this howto apply for ppc also? Which version of the kernel are you runnning?

I think so, but I don't run ppc-linux. I just wanted to express that in many cases it is not necessary anymore to patch the kernel for superdooperlow latency anymore as what the stock kernel provides is really very good now. I'm currently running 2.6.16 and I'm very happy with it. IIRC Lee Revell recommended 2.6.15 in his talk on kernel latency at the Linux Audio Conference [1], but I guess any recent version (say >= 2.6.14) should be fine.
Of course it always depends on what exactly you want to do, but unless you target latencies below 2 or 3 ms, a stock kernel will do just fine and it will save you 1) a lot of headache over trying to follow a moving target like the rt-patches and 2) a lot of time, which is better invested in patching.

Oh - I see. Yeah. Not having to patch the kernel would be great, as that was where things were falling apart.
Thanks, Frank.

I think the best way to help is to make native packages for Pd-
extended. I have to finish up an annoying freelance project this
week, then I plan on diving into the Pd compile farm. I have a stack
of old PCs that I'll install any free OS on if someone will build Pd-
extended on that machine. The end goal is to get automatic nightly
builds going on all of the machines. I have 2 old Macs that I could
install GNU/Linux on as well.

Hey Kevin
Did you ever find a place to put the OSC externals for ppc-linux?
