Hi
I am trying my hand at creating some patches for the rjdj/scene player and need to install pd vanilla to make sure not to use any objects from extended. I thought it would be pretty straight forward since the installation of extended is a breeze. However, I'm completely stumped! I download and unzipped the pd-0.43-0 and when I didn't see an .exe went to the INSTALL.txt. Now from there I followed the instructions for Windows at the bottom of the txt file, installed cygwin and started it up. After tinkering around with that for a bit I eventually was able to navigate to the "src" directory but have been unable to get it to work from there. I followed the instruction to type "./autogen.sh" but after that I'm just getting a list of "command not found" errors ??
I was wondering if anyone can tell me what I might be doing wrong or even better if there is an executable for vanilla available anywhere ??
any help much appreciated!!
;D

hi wk, thanks for prompt reply!! ;D
Thankfully I figured it out! I thought the executable had to be built from the command prompt in Cygwin but then after some more searching I found it in the /bin directory. So for anyone who finds themselves with a similar problem this is how to launch Pd Vanilla from Cygwin.

Open Cygwin
At the prompt type cd c: to change current directory to the local drive.
Then type cd /cygdrive/c followed by the complete path all the way up to the /bin folder where the pd.exe is stored.
Once inside this folder simply type ./pd and pd should launch!

Of course change the above paths to the correct ones for your own system! ;D

Hope this helps someone a bit of time in the future!!
