Hi All,

I am having an issue installing the timbreID externals in Pd-l2ork on Raspberry Pi 3. Is it true that I need to point some "Makefile" to PD's source? I have added the timbreID folder to PD's startup paths, but it still does not recognize any of the timbreID objects. Any advice on how to properly install it? Thanks in advance! (Found an ancient thread on this on the forums, but wasn't able to gain any useful tips there).

Is it possible that TimbreID only works with Extended? I have TimbreID working well with Extended on my MacBook, but can't get TimbreID to load in Vanilla or L2-ork on the Mac...strange...

Using Deken, it works well on my Mac 10.13 with Pd 0.48-1.
Add the timbreID folder to the PD search paths:
Pd->Preferences->Path...->[New...] -> "path to timbreID folder" -> [ok]
and add timbreIDLib to the Pd libraries to load on startup:
Pd->Preferences->Startup...->[New...] -> timbreIDLib -> [ok]

@Pierre-Guillot Deken is really neat, but I wasn't so lucky with -aarch64 (no external for this architecture). Don't know about the rpi3. C'est la vie.

@davysummer you can compile it (yeah, ./configure, (install debs) make, make install).

Cheers~

Hi All,

Thank you for the replies!
Just to clarify--I have TimbreID working well on my Mac, but having issues getting it going on the Rpi3. Running Pd-l2ork on the Pi, and slightly confused at the right procedure to install timbreID externals. @EEight, are you referring to compiling timbreID itself, or PD from source?

Thanks again!

Perhaps also worth noting....I have TimbreID working with Extended on Mac...no dice getting it to work with Vanilla or l2ork

Compiling only TimbreId against pd (not compiling pd source).

To load timbreIDLib, list the path to the timbreIDLib library file in Pd's startup dialog (e.g., /home/yourname/pd_libs/timbreID/timbreIDLib).

timbreID version 0.7 requires the FFTW library, available at http://www.fftw.org.

FFTW is included pre-compiled with timbreID's Windows binary package available through deken. It's fine to simply leave libfftw3f-3.dll in the timbreID directory for use as a shared library. For Linux and Macintosh, FFTW is statically linked with the timbreIDLib library file, so there is no need for compiling or obtaining FFTW.

If you are compliling FFTW yourself, it must be compiled in single precision. To do so in Linux, configure FFTW like this:

./configure CFLAGS="-fPIC" --enable-float

and like this on a Macintosh:

./configure CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" --enable-float

Then run:

make
sudo make install

The FFTW library for Windows is available precompiled at:

http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html

You will need the 32-bit version, and the single precision version specifically. The provided zip file contains several compiled versions of FFTW, but only libfftw3f-3.dll is required for timbreID version 0.7.

On Linux and Macintosh, the FFTW library files should be installed to /usr/local/lib by default. Once FFTW is properly built and installed, you can make timbreID using the included Makefile by running:

make

You must specify the location of your Pure Data source code directory in the Makefile beforehand. Compilation from source on Windows can be done with the same Makefile if you use MinGW: http://www.mingw.org

On Linux and Macintosh, timbreIDLib will statically link the FFTW library. On Windows, you will either have to set up an environment variable to point to the location of libfftw3f-3.dll, or simply put libfftw3f-3.dll directly in the timbreID directory.

Cheers~
