how to build a pd extern on linux
- clone/download this repo, pb-lib-builder https://github.com/pure-data/pd-lib-builder (top level), and pure-data source https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data (need to specify the /src in the next step)
- add the paths to pd-lib-builder and pure-data source code to environment variables pd_src and pd_lib_builder (can use .bashrc by adding lines
export [VARIABLE_NAME]=[variable_value]). Run source on the .bashrc - open a new shell session so the environment variables are set
- run make from the command line. If it works, you should see a file with the .pd_linux extension
- open up pure-data and then open the patch helloworld.pd, the bang should be connected to a solid line box
- click the bang in the patch and see the print on the console
Let's make a new object called rhino... change class_new(gensym("rhino"))
the setup function needs to have that object name:
void helloworld_setup(void) => void rhino_setup(void)
rename the file: helloworld.c => rhino.c
add rhino.c to Makefile
Make
Try to add a rhino object to a new pd patch
