yes. > > 2) Extended - when you say there's no pd-extended, does this mean > that most externals can be compiled 64 bit but none are collected > together so you have to do each one yourself? basically correct. Pd itself does not have any problems any more with 64bit. there might still be a few externals that are incompatible with 64bit mode (that have to be ported, because they use low-level tricks), and more externals that still miss the "-fPIC" flag (this is rather trivial to solve when compiling) > > 3) Does the 64 bit version benefit from any computational accuracy > improvement, or is it just running as 32 bit? both the type of numbers in messages (t_float) and signals (t_sample) are still single precision floating point. In Pd-0.41 the types t_float and t_sample are used almost everywhere (where applicable), i hope that i will have patches for pd-0.42 that will allow you to compile Pd with double-precision. > > 4) Is there now a Debian package for 64 bit Pd that I can apt-get? Pd has been in debian/amd64 for some years now. i don't know whether günther has backported all the 0.41 fixes for 64bit. personally i always have the debian-packages installed and never use them. fgmasdr IOhannes > > Thanks for any further clues. > > Andy > > > _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
