@Balwyn I've follow your steps but still nothing this is what i got in the console:

Hello, having trouble installing external libraries in pd, I'm in Xubuntu, so I'm new to Pd and Linux both.

tried almost everything in posts but there's not a lot of information on the topic, thanks in advance

I have three folder containing one sample library (according to pd web site and other resources these are standard folders for external libraries)

~/Pd-externals/moonlib; /usr/local/lib/pd-externals/moonlib; and /usr/lib/pd/extra/moonlib

My path config in Pd is: ~/Pd-externals; /usr/local/lib/pd-externals; and /usr/lib/pd/extra

I've tried the next Startup configs (and every other logic folder variation):
-helppath ~/Pd-externals
-stdpath ~/Pd-externals

Console print at startup:
tried /home/sosimicro/Pd-externals and failed /home/sosimicro/Pd-externals: can't open

Console prints a long list of errors when I try to create a library object like [mkob]

I'm in a dead end, I really don't want to install pd-extended, there must be a way

Hello,

I created a new thread as the older post [Problem compiling on windows] (http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/967/problem-compiling-external-on-windows/16) seems to have ended and my problem has a different nature.
Moreover. I have not been able to find an answer on the puredata sites (puredata.info or puredata.org).

My problem:

My end goal is to play with the 'grid' external in pd-extended/externals/unauthorized/grid but since I do not get this one working and I have never compiled an external before I started with the simpler tutorials in Pd/doc/6.externs.

My steps and error are as follows:
**1. **Adap path in 'makefile' in Pd/doc/6.externs to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC'
(this path contains a /lib folder with .lib and .obj files on my machine)
**2. **Start ( Admin) Visual C++ 2008 64-bit command prompt
**3. **Locate directory Pd/doc/6.externs
**4. ** run 'nmake pd_nt' command
**5. ** gives error in locating the libc.lib file
(LINK: fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:...\VC\lib\libc.lib'

When I remove this instruction from the makefile, I does not find the kernel32.lib file also.
When I finally remove the former instruction, I get an error creating the library obj1,lib and object obj1,exp as I have 6 unresolved external symbols ex. obj1.ob : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp_post referenced in function obj1_float

Could someone help me solve these issues and help me succeed in making this external work?
Then, any additional explanation in getting grid to work afterwards?

Any additional info regarding Pd's treatment of externals/libraries etc is appreciated as well.. I just can't get a grip on it,

Hello all,

After a few weeks of reading, researching, and attempting to find a reliable way to compile externals, I have most simple cases working such as the tutorial objects found from the IEM tutorials and Eric Lyon's book on the subject.

However, trying to compile Oggread~ from the pdogg library (https://goo.gl/WvPLnW) results in an external that fails to load in PD, throwing the error:

"oggread~.pd_darwin: dlopen(/path/to/external/oggread~.pd_darwin, 10): symbol not found: _ov_bitrate referenced from: /path/to/external/oggread~.pd_darwin
Expected in: flat namespace"

the reference to ov_bitrate is contained in vorbisfile.h, and as far as I can tell, has been linked and compiled correctly.

I hate to ask for help from a community I've just joined, but I've been struggling with this for a few weeks on my own to no avail, so absolutely any insight or help would be appreciated.

I've uploaded the files in question below. The compiled external can be found in the build folder, and all vorbis/ogg header files can be found in the libs folder.

oggread~ compilation.zip

Thank you,
James

Hi there,

I'm developing an audio device based on a cubieboard2(armf). I use potentiometers read by an adc that communicates through i²c protocol with my cubie. An i²c lcd display shows the desired parameters values.

I wrote externals in order to get data from the potentiometers (and other switches, and a rotary encoder), or send data to the display. Everything was working, but the i²c I/O functions calls were leading to clicks 'n pops in the audio, which was unacceptable. I use a rt patched debian with selected rt priorities for irqs and audio as I always did with success, and I am looking for a smart way to make my pd patches communicate with my physical interface, in a transparent way at audio level.

Then a opened this topic : http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/9489/external-i2c-data-reader-leads-to-clicks-standalone-version-works-better , and @Eeight proposed to implement threads, kindly giving a template in order to show me the way.

And now I'd need some advice. I'm not a real C programmer, just learning the empirical way, and I'm reaching my limits... I made a threaded version of the external that reads the potentiometers every x milliseconds, and it works perfectly, no audio pollution anymore. But when I made a threaded version of the external that handles the i²c display (thus receiving incoming messages such as "position x y", or "write message"), it lead to timing problems.

Some of the messages get uninterpreted because my writing function is threaded, and takes the form of an infinite while(1) loop containing a "usleep(10000)" instruction at the end of it in order to limit cpu load. The problem is that this leads to the "loss" of most of the incoming messages...

When reading potentiometers values, it's ok to get them merely one every 10ms, but when you have to send messages that can be interpreted merely one every 1oms, you have to send them to the external with delays, which works (That's my present situation), but is tiedious and inelegant.

Would someone have an idea of how this problem could be addressed in a more elegant manner ?

Here is how I implemented it :

• I create a thread for an infinite while (1) loop containing a call to a writing function whenever a flag equals 1, followed by a usleep(10000) instruction.
  This "thread" is running from the beginning and awaits for a nonzero value of the flag to enter in action. It reads the string to be displayed from the object's data structure, but only when the "clocking" allows it together with the flag
• a "write" method can receive a t_symbol : the string to display. When a "write blahblah" message is received by the object, the string "blahblah" is stored in the object's data structure, as the flag which is set to 1.
• Then the next time the threaded loop evaluates the flag, it displays "blahblah", resets the flag to 0 and sleeps for 10ms.
  But when you use incoming messages using 10 lines messages (allowing for cursor positioning and writing orders), they of course flow through the code in far less than 10ms, hence my problems... In other words the string to be displayed can be changed several times in the object's data structure without being actually displayed because of the relatively slow "clocking".

Please forget the incredible length of this message, together to the fact that I don't post the source yet because of a basic shame of my inelegant coding style. Maybe will I finally clean it and post it later.

Thank you,

Nau

Hi all,
posted this to the list, but no answer -- no discussion! decided to repost here.

I added pd-overlay from layman, and have installed the following:

Why the article at gentoo wiki tells me to remove oscx&zexy flags from build? I didn't listened to it though.

With a few tricks, a working alsa/timidity++/puredata chain was set up
and running, to reference for other newcomers:
pdextended -alsa -alsamidi -stderr -verbose -d (config at pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/8p0rcd41 )

The following files were installed to my system: (filelist with paths:
http://pastebin.com/F9yymAPH )

Now, wanted to install Androidome's script,
http://androidome.googlecode.com/files/AndroidomeRouter.pd

Multiple errors came about missing functions (like mrpeach/udpsend),
and in the UI they were outlined in red.
Also the debug log shown that search under multiple paths (none
included /usr/lib/pdextended/extra/mrpeach)
was failed for that functions.
Looks like http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-dev@iem.at/msg04901.html,
but checks more paths.

Gem: can't load library

I can't locate files like Gem-meta.pd or Gem.pd_linux on the computer;
I keep investigating, but any hint is welcome, thanks
