pd is very easy to build from source

I managed to build pd 0.54.0 from sources:

./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-jack
make
sudo make install

As you can see, I solved the missing jack issue by adding: --enable-jack
Now jack is listed in Media menu, it works fine.

connect the [loadbang] directly to the [symbol $1/images/*(

In /home/j/pd24 there is the patch.
In /home/j/pd24/images I put an image called 60.png

I connected my MIDI keyboard to pd 0.52.1 and played the C note (which corresponds to MIDI pitch 60), as can be seen from the number box I placed:

Should the 60.png file open?
Nothing happens and in the pd console it writes:

bad arguments for message 'open' to object 'pic'

I had already installed the else library and the relative paths had also been inserted correctly in pd. What does that question mark represent in the patch?
Any tips?

0.54,

I had tried pd 0.54, but it doesn't have the jack option in Media menu (or at least I didn't find it).
For this reason I use 0.52.1.

How can I modify the patch for use it in pd 0.52.1?

Thank you,

Hi, a perhaps trivial question:
in [file patchpath] how should the path be written?
I've tried various combinations, but it stays dotted.

The patch and the "Images" folder are in:
/home/j/pd24

Hi,

I have a patch where I use 8 audio channels in output. Every time I open it, I have to go to puredata-audio settings and manually change the number of channels (which by default is 2) to 8.
I would like this setting to be done automatically when I open the patch.
I tried with this:

but it doesn't work.

Some tips?

A real AI should be able to do this:

I input an audio file (of any musical instrument, noise, etc...), for example a held note from a particular pipe organ inside a particular architecture, or a large stone thrown into the water, and I ask to build me a puredata patch that perfectly simulates that sound.
Obviously I don't want the AI ​​to go looking for a pre-made patch without modifying it, otherwise I'll find it myself, I want the AI ​​to create it from scratch and perfectly.
Can we reach these levels?

Hi,

suppose I have an object that has an audio signal in output. Apart from sending it to a [dac] and listen, what is the easiest and fastest way to understand if it is working? That is, a way to test if it actually sends something in output?

Thank you,
a.

I solved!
One of the initial steps was installing opencv-python:

$ pip install opencv-python==4.5.5.64

I looked for the latest version of opencv-python, which is 4.9.0.80, and tried to install that:

$ pip install opencv-python==4.9.0.80

Now it works.

Well, this concerns the Python script, that's why I wrote that it's not Pd related. Never mind though. What's output_socket in your code? What does it try to connect to? Did you try to print your HOST "macro"?

I don't know anything about what you're asking me...
...I don't know Python. Anyway this code should connect the webcam with puredata, to detect movements and translate them into sounds.

@alexandros said:

This is not Pd related as it concerns Python. Nevertheless, what's on line 32 in your script? The error message concerns this line where a connection you are trying to establish fails.

line 32:

output_socket.connect((HOST, OUTPUT_PORT))

If I'm in the wrong section of the forum, I apologize for that.
