ola, both of your problems are very independent..
* first problem is that pdp_xv doesn't exist on OSX, use pdp_glx instead and don't forget to launch the X server before creating this window, if this doesn't work, i don't know why.. * second problem ( the font problem ) is that you need the default font that pidip uses which is helmetr.tff and that the 'make install' in pidip should install.. you can get this font in the /fonts directory in pidip : http://ydegoyon.free.fr/pidip-0.12.20.tar.gz suerte, sevy Daniel Arcé wrote:
Hello I'm trying to use pdp in os x 10.4.7 with pd-extended 0.39.2 (hc's version). My goal is to create a simple video window using pdp_xv, but I'm met with the error: pdp_xv: autocreate window pdp_xv: cant open display :0 same with pdp_glx. Here are more details about my situation: I needed to install x11 from the Tiger cd. This solved the missing library problems. X11 now says it is "X11 1.1.1 - XFree86 4.4.0" I launched pd-extended by 1) clickin on it, and 2) from the xterm window via "open Pd-extended.app". The problem is the same either way. PD launches with the smallest of complaints, notably: pdp_text : severe error : could not load default font : no rendering !!! I found some source code floating around. It seems that the error comes from this method: imlib_add_path_to_font_path("/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF"); font = imlib_load_font(DEFAULT_FONT); if ( !font ) { post( "pdp_text : severe error : could not load default font : no rendering !!!" ); } imlib_context_set_font( font ); I found the code in a google cache, so I don't know if it's current or what: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:V-rLTO-hUmcJ:cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pure-data/externals/pidip/ Anyhow, all that to say that I went to that directory, and there are a number of .TTF files in it. For some reason DEFAULT_FONT is returning null. So my question again: How can I get pdp_xv to work on os x? Is the message "no rendering !!!" linked to my problem? I can create windows with GEM, but pdp falls on my desk. Any ideas? Thanks!
