Pd Installers

Pd HID Installers Objects

These installers are definitely very beta. I work on them whenever I have time, here and there, generally in bursts of a couple weeks every few months. All of my work in GPL'ed and in the CVS, so if you want something fixed or done, its possible to do it yourself. That is what I did with these installers, building upon the work of so many others.

I'd definitely work on this more if I could get a little money to do it. Then I wouldn't have to do other freelance jobs. No amount is too small, anything is appreciated. If I got $1 from each downloader, I would be very happy.

Final Releases

See the Downloads page for less beta (aka "final") releases. This page is for the test releases. The core Pd distro is available on Miller Puckette's site

Pd-extended Test Releases

Lots of changes, got the first complete(-ish) build with the new extended build system. I left as much of the old functionality in place as possible, definitely were it was being used. But there are some changes that break backwards compatibility, thought they should be noticed by few, and be easy to fix going forward.

Some highlights:

The Windows release is now compiled with MinGW and has all of the same patches to the core as the other two.
preliminary international character support. It seems to work fine in comments, not yet in objects and messages.
libdir format: basically a libdir is a directory that has both the objects and the help files together in one folder. It can be added using -lib or the StartUp preferences, or you can access them via geiger namespaces, i.e. [mylibrary/myobject].
special characters allow in setup function/file names for objects. This makes objects like [||~] possible without having to be in a library. Now they can be either .pd files or individual .pd_darwin files (thanks IOhannes for the patch).

Downloads

GNU/Linux

Download: Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC6-linux-i686.tar.bz2
compiled to install into /usr/local
you can install elsewhere, but then you need to always start Pd in its bin dir with ./pd in order for it to find all its stuff

To install:
tar xjf Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC6-linux-i686.tar.bz2
cd Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC6-linux-i686

For newbies: to install Gem, pmpd, xsample, dyn~, and vasp support, copy the included org.puredata.pd.plist to ~/Library/Preferences (~ means your home folder). If you already have preferences saved, this would replace them.

Windows

Download: Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC6.exe
To install, open the installer and click thru it.
This version now includes all of the needed libs (mp3lame, ogg, vorbis, flac, speex, etc.)

Things seem to be working fine. Try things out and post to the list when things are broken. If I don't hear of any problems, I'll make this the release and stick it on the SourceForge page.
