Hi,

I'm using PD on linux mint 17. Recently I discovered the Calf Plugin for Ardour. I've also read about using PD with LADSPA plugins. Calf Plugin is using LADSPA but not only, so I'd like to know if it's possible to use Calf plugin with the PD's plugin~ item and how. Or if there an other way to process. I've already checked on the web but I actually found nothing.

hi,

i don't know about Mintinstall, but since Linux Mint 17 seems to be based on Ubuntu, it might be possible to use a PPA.
Try to add this PPA to your packages and install it via Synaptic.

https://launchpad.net/~dr-graef/+archive/ubuntu/pure-lang.trusty

I'm not sure if it will work. Otherwise you will need to compile everything yourself, just check out the readme files of pure etc.

Hi,

I've a new problem. I added the PPA as told me, and then I installed, pure, pd-pure and pure-lilv.
Everything seemed to work perfectly 'til this part. But when I started Pd-extended, I got a endless series of log message like that :

*Not connected to 'pd' process
Not connected to 'pd' process
while executing
"error "Not connected to 'pd' process""
(procedure "pdsend" line 6)
invoked from within
"pdsend "pd autopatch $state""
(procedure "pdtk_canvas_autopatch" line 6)
invoked from within
"pdtk_canvas_autopatch .pdwindow 0"
(procedure "::pd_menus::configure_for_pdwindow" line 16)
invoked from within
"::pd_menus::configure_for_pdwindow "
(procedure "::pd_bindings::window_focusin" line 9)
invoked from within
"::pd_bindings::window_focusin .pdwindow"
(command bound to event)

Or that :

Not connected to 'pd' process
Not connected to 'pd' process
while executing
"error "Not connected to 'pd' process""
(procedure "pdsend" line 6)
invoked from within
"pdsend "pd watchdog""
(procedure "pdtk_watchdog" line 2)
invoked from within
"pdtk_watchdog"
("after" script)*

And if I launch pd-extended from my terminal it give me that:

jokoko@jokoko-PC ~ $ pd-extended

And then it crash down...

hm, well thats not how it is supposed to be. I'm afraid i can't help you with those error-messages.
You could try to compile everything by hand (after uninstalling the previos versions from the PPA) and contact the pure-list if you run into troubles.

I had a look at the plugin~ object you mentioned in your first post. If you send it a "listplugins" message it will print the names an IDs of the available plugins in the pd window.

Well, the problem had been solved by uninstalling and reinstalling everything.
So now, i've installed pure, pd-pure and pure-lilv and pd-extended is still working fine.
So now I tried to install lv2plugin that isn't in the PPA, so I downloaded the Tar.gz file and tried to compil it, but the make command give me that:
*jokoko@jokoko-PC ~/Téléchargements/pd-lv2plugin-0.1 $ make
Package pure was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing pure.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'pure' found Package pure was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containingpure.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'pure' found

#include <pure/runtime.h>

compilation terminated.
make: *** [pdstub] Erreur 1

I read that there where adjustement to do in the makefile, and I looked for but I didn't find what to do...

hi,

if you open a terminal and type "pure". what do you get? This should start the pure interpreter.
I suggest you write your message to the pure list or to the faust-user list. I'm sure someone there will guide you through the installation, better than i can do.
For the lv2plugin- external you will also need to install lilv and the lv2-headers i think.

Hi,

Ok, so pure give me that:

*jokoko@jokoko-PC ~ $ pure

__ \ | | | _ \ Pure 0.64 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
| | | | | / Copyright (c) 2008-2014 by Albert Graef
./ _,|| __| (Type 'help' for help, 'help copying'
_| for license information.)

Loaded prelude from /usr/lib/pure/prelude.pure.

And then it waits. So it's seems pure work normally.

And what about the pure list or the faust-user list? Where can I found them?

Also I took lilv and LV2 from drobilla as explained and installed them.

I guess if you write your PKG_CONFIG_PATH problem to this list , you will find help.

http://faust.grame.fr/index.php/support/mailing-lists/faudiostream-users

maybe it's a good idea to mention there on which OS you are, and how you installed pure (PPA or compiled it yourself)

Let us know if you manage to install it.

hi,

what do you get if you open a terminal and type "pkg-config pure --variable libdir" ?

maybe installing "autotools" via synaptic can help, but that's just a guess.

Thank you for not forgettin' me! =)
I tried your suggestions but none worked. The pkg-config command give me nothing, even after installing autotools.
I subscribed to the faustuser list and explained my problem, but I didn't get any answer.
Albert Graef who made pd lv2 plugin told me that he was busy until the april 12 so I'll ask him next week if I haven't fixed it yet.
