This right here outlines the main purpose of Pd-extended: to provide a tested and reliable package that works the same on all OSes. Basically, I think you should pick one platform for netpd, and make sure everything works smoothly on that one. Then worry about the rest. Alex Quessy and I tried to run the latest version on netpd working for a network jam last Sunday, we both failed. He got further than me, he got some sounds out, but neither got it all working. Both of us know quite a bit about Pd, so I am amazed that newbies get it going (do they?). It would very nice if it was just plug and play. It would not be that hard to do it. I think you could spend a day on it and have it working smoothly. It would be very worthwhile, but I think you have already spent far more time trying to help people get it going than it would take to fix things. .hc > >> Yes, would be nice - someone would have to integrate them to >> pd-extended >> (using [import] and etc.) ... > > are you talking about basic netpd or netpd & all the instruments... > > basic netpd is written by Roman Haefeli > all the instruments have at least 10 different authors. > > > _______________________________________________ > PD-list@iem.at mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- 'You people have such restrictive dress for women,’ she said, hobbling away in three inch heels and panty hose to finish out another pink-collar temp pool day. - “Hijab Scene #2", by Mohja Kahf _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
