[PD] HIDIO and Windows

[Tomato Thaumato]

Hello list,

I'm trying to develop cross-platform, but I can't figure out how to
get [hidio] to compile on Windows.  OS X and Linux were easy with that
makefile!  I only need mouse/trackpad and keyboard entry, and I like
the format that [hidio] uses and the more complete key mapping.  Is
Windows [hidio] ready for these purposes?  If not, is there anything I
can do?  If so, can someone either compile for me or (maybe even
better) explain to me how to compile this on Windows?

Thanks very much for any help.  I hope everyone here enjoys my
eventual results when I share them.

[PD] [HID] working inconsistently

[Tomato Thaumato]

Hello all,

Sorry if this is super basic, but I had trouble finding information
about my problem in previous posts.

None of my HID objects in my patches work until I open the help page
for HID, and then they work just fine.  I thought it might be a path
issue, but am not sure how to resolve it.  I couldn't find any objects
used in the HID example patch that I was missing...in fact, when I
save the example patch to a different location and then re-open it, it
still doesn't function until I open the help page.  After I have
opened the HID help page, HID continues to work.  I am running OS X
version 10.5.6.

Thanks for any advice.

-Michael

Re: [PD] Ubuntu vs. ubuntustudio?

[Tomato Thaumato]

This e-mail maybe be coming a little late, but just wanted to add my
two cents, maybe for future list searchers.

I'm running Ubuntu Studio now, but have run vanilla Ubuntu as well and
didn't really notice a performance difference.  I DID like having lots
of audio things preinstalled...I didn't need to waste a lot of time
getting my audio-specific hardware up and running, just plug and play,
and then start removing unnecessary junk when bored, instead of
frantically looking for things when I have a project to get done.
Supposedly, Studio is also optimized for studio work, but I haven't
actually spent the time to look into what exactly that means.  If
you're already running vanilla, I wouldn't switch over unless you find
a very compelling reason to do so.

 Another note: what window managers do you advise? I find the simple,
 low-cal approach of fluxbox / enlightenment better as the sugar-puffed
 gnome etc. Any remarks against using any of these? By the way, one of the
 things that puts me off of linux is that it takes so much *'%$ time to get
 going. So, reliability is also a parameter.

 Agree about the time thing under Linux. I was a longtime blackbox and
 then fluxbox addict, but I've gone soft in my old age and use Xfce now.
 It's about as fast (maybe faster) and configurable as fluxbox but gives
 you some of the nice features of Gnome and friends, without the bloat.
 The bloat is actually optional as you can elect to start gnome and kde
 services on startup, but you don't need them at all to function. Also,
 you don't have to edit any config files if you don't want to.
 Additionally, Linux finally got a file browser that doesn't suck (it's
 about as good as Explorer.exe) in Thunar, Xfce's default file browser.

 `apt-get install xfce4`

 Chris.
