Zexy repack on Mac
Hey,
I've uploaded the Zexy external on the latest version of PD-Vanilla (Pd-0.51-1) on my Mac, (I'm on Catalina) but when I go to add a repack object it still isn't recognised and won't create the object. Any ideas why?
Best

@Butahuruf Fn+F11 I think on a Mac.
If the src folder is where pd.darwin is then it should work.

Sending multiple messages through netsend
@toddak The sliders are sending correctly...... it works fine on localhost.
Maybe a firewall setting on the receiving computers? assuming you have the correct addresses...... connect 192.168.1.101 9001..... and connect 192.168.1.103 9001
Check that Pd has been allowed through the firewall for "private" or "local" connections on all the computers.
If you are running Windows a box would have popped up when you first ran Pd asking for that permission and maybe you clicked "no".
I don't know what the options in "firewall" "advanced" are on a mac, but at least the "Block all incoming connections" will need to be deselected for Pd.darwin.

The miniwoog
@s-elliot-perez Did you install or use the zip "portable"...?
You will need to open the Pd.exe (or Pd.darwin or whatever the executable is) for extended (in the bin folder) and then use its menu... open.. to open the miniwoog.
Extended has all those missing objects, but if you double-click miniwoog.pd it has probably opened in your vanilla installation.

FIR~.pd missing
@lxschwalb No. But there should be a FIR.dll or FIR.darwin or something like that.
iemlib is a directory that doesn't declare itself. You can either add iemlib to your "Menu File (or Edit) Preferences Startup" or declare the library within your patch, but the method for declaring in the patch changes across versions of Pd (see the [declare] object).
You might find you need to set the path to the iemlib folder in "Menu File (or Edit) Preferences Path" as well.

poorman's 360 multi-channel pan
@whale-av Thanks a lot! I receive this message (about [audience~]):
audience~.pd_darwin: mach-o, but wrong architecture
--maybe they're too old and in an old OSX architecture? I just put the audience~.pd.darwin and audience~-help.pd in the same folder of my patch.
grampipan and grambidec by @ricky sounds just perfect --but the links are broken, couldn't find anything in the authors' website.
HOA looks just great, but I think nobody can run it in Mac nowadays? Somebody knows an alternative?
I can't believe Pure Data doesn't have a proper multi-channel / ambisonic / spatialization library --time to consider Max/MSP? that would suck, lots of work in PD already for this 8-ch installation :'-(
Thanks for any hint, guys!
installing zexy on mac
@gmay What version of Pd are you using? In the newer versions to install zexy just go to menu > Help > Find externals, type zexy and click on the first hit (2.2.8 Darwin). Then go to menu > Pd > Preferences > Startup.., click "new" and type zexy. Restart Pd and you should be able to use the objects from the library.
Installing Sound Design Toolkit (SDT)
@polyphuckin Are you using windows? The following (probably) if you are.
The frameworks stuff says it is the documentation. You need to just open index.html from the doc/html folder to read that. But there could be more to it. I don't know....
1st..
Pd paths and eccentricities.
I doesn't really matter where you put things, but Pd needs to find them.
In this case the (dot)dll's need to be loaded as libraries (or at least one of them does.... please let us know when you find out more..!!).
Unfortunately Pd expects the DLL to have the same name as the library folder (ONLY for libraries like Gem and Zexy that must be loaded at startup), or it will not find it. It will only look for STD.dll or STD.i386 or STD.darwin in the STD folder......
The author has named the folders so that you know which one you want, but that messes it up for the installation.
The folder STD_PD has STD.dll inside so needs to be renamed STD
The folder Win32 has libSTD.dll inside, so needs to be renamed libSTD
Then startup paths need to be set to those folders (it really doesn't matter where they are).
Then startup flags must be set to load the libraries........ -lib libSTD and -lib STD
Don't forget to restart Pd as it loads the libraries only as it starts..
And then, as if by magic, you can remove the declarations -lib in the startup preferences and it will work forever, even for other (32-bit) versions of vanilla.
Annoying.
Actually I think libSTD.dll probably is for other api's to use, and it belongs in the windows "sytem32" folder, but I am unsure. Maybe email the authors through the page you posted.
You do not need to copy SDT.dll outside its folder, as I did in the screenshot.
David.
Proof.........
The message below [r pd] needs to be clicked, and dsp needs to be on.
I have checked this file but no others.
If you want help files to be found then you might need to do more. Placing the library STD directly in the "extra" folder might solve that. I didn't.........
list content of folder
@francis666 It seems (it was in extended for windows and RPI) that you could get it by downloading extended for mac from http://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended
and extracting what I think will be "folder_list.darwin"...... ? from the extra/hcs folder.
Shots in the dark though.
And I don't know if it needs any other executable files from that, or other folders.

error: maximum object loading depth 1000 reached
I can't speak for Pd Vanilla-- but in Purr Data there is no hid for OSX 64-bit. Someone would have to rewrite the hid.darwin layer and use the non-ancient OSX API to get it to work. (And then it still wouldn't work under Windows, so I personally wouldn't prioritize that work.)
Under Gnu/Linux, I can confirm [hid] works under i386, x86_64, and armv7l.
