Hi Ico,
I'm on Ubuntu and have tried to ./configure but the terminal reports no tk
library found :
checking for tcl8.4/tcl.h... yes
checking for main in -ltcl85... no
checking for main in -ltcl8.5... no
checking for main in -ltcl84... no
checking for main in -ltcl8.4... yes
checking for main in -ltk85... no
checking for main in -ltk8.5... no
checking for main in -ltk84... no
checking for main in -ltk8.4... no
checking for main in -ltk8.3... no
checking for main in -ltk8.2... no
checking for main in -ltk8.0... no
no tk library found
and further make errors:
ldl -lm -lpthread -lasound
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lasound
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [../bin/pd] Error 1
Still wanting to check it out I swapped the pd-extended pd.tk file with the
one from L2Ork pd.tk file and I am getting the following errors on a pop up:
can't read "mult": no such variable
can't read "mult": no such variable
while executing
"expr int($height / ($mult * 2))"
("text" arm line 36)
invoked from within
"switch -exact [$name type $item] {
"arc" -
"line" -
"oval" -
"polygon" -
"rectangle" {
set coords [$name coords $item]
foreach ..."
(procedure "pdtk_canvas_getscroll" line 38)
invoked from within
"pdtk_canvas_getscroll $name"
(procedure "pdtk_canvas_getscroll_ping" line 9)
invoked from within
"pdtk_canvas_getscroll_ping .xa5b7038.c"
("after" script)
And sometimes there are no up scrolling bars
But I wish to say the improvements to the gui on Ubuntu are really nice!
Really want to use this from now on- the larger “cord/wire connect” icon is
really useful- and appreciate any feedback regarding the above
Cheers
Al
