Hans, I think I will stick to the patch format for now. Let me report my build adventures for the day so that someone can give some advice.
I would like to build a full pd-extended from development source code. It seems to be a bit complicated, but I tried at least to build the stuff I need. The first problem I got is that the pd built from SVN doesn't runn off of /usr/local/bin but only runs from its own source dir. This is what I did on Pd-svn: cd pd/pd/src autoreconf -vi ./configure make depend make sudo make install Then when I rund pd it just hangs.. Running pd -verbose gives: Pd version 0.42-5 compiled 15:33:07 Sep 27 2011 port 5403 TCL_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/lib/tcl/library" TK_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/pd/lib/tk/library" wish "/usr/local/lib/pd/tcl/pd-gui.tcl" 5403 Waiting for connection request... ... connected I tried with both wish 8.4 and 8.5. The way I managed to run it was just through the source dir. pd/pd/bin/pd Next, I built Gem from svn (but kinda tailored to the Pd source code dir since that's what I managed to run): cd pd-gem/Gem/src ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-pd=$HOME/src/pd/pd make sudo make install Finally, pix_opencv: ./configure --with-pd=$HOME/src/pd/pd --with- gem=$HOME/src/pd-gem/Gem make sudo make install I noticed pix_opencv installs cleanly onto the Pd source dir but Gem just insists on using /usr/local no matter what. I was able to install Pd using gem like this: cd $HOME/src/pd-gem/Gem $HOME/src/pd/pd/bin/pd -lib Gem Not to speak about compiling+installing iemmatrix, which should be simple, similar to pix_opencv, if only pd would run out of /usr/local which it isn't. I appreciate any help, even if just a small guiding remark.
