Hi there,

I'd like to compile Purr-Data for Ubuntu Studio 25.10. since the provided OBS downloads only support Ubuntu 25.04 at the moment. Unfortunately, the dependency list in the Purr-Data GitHub wiki is outdated and not distro-specific. I tried to contact Albert Gräf, who seems to maintain the wiki and the OBS downloads, but did not get a reply.

Is someone able to provide an up-to-date dependency list for Ubuntu? Purr Data is a complicated package with many parts and dependencies.

Thank you in advance!

BTW: I was surprised to see that plugdata does not provide a binary package for Ubuntu 25.10 either.

You should be able to run LTS binaries on 25.10 - Actually any Linux binary built with an older libc will probably work on a newer system.

Unfortunately, I run into missing dependencies. I tested the Purr-Data binary package for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:
