>>>I'm having some issues installing he [X11mouse] and [X11key] into pd under ubuntu<br>>>> 10.04. Firstly, I followed the readme and it said that xlib-dev and<br>>>> xmms-dev could not be found; I went into the synaptics package manager<br>>>> and found xmms2-dev and libx-dev and installed these and all other<br>>>> related ones. I then went into the terminal again and tried the make<br>>>> command, it said the files were up to date.<br><br>>I guess I should maintain these externals. The x11mouse and x11key<br>>externals could be separated from the xmms one. (not related at all)<br><br>>Unfortunately, I am not much into Pd these days, though I wrote more C<br>>than before. Trying to make this work could take a few hours. If you<br>>help me with finding the right libraries and such, I could put some<br>>time in this. (the name of its Ubuntu package changed)<br><br>>These days, I use the GNU autotools for managing compilation rules. I<br>>don't write make files by hand much.<br><br>>Also, I don't mind using puredata's SVN repository to manage this<br>>code, though I much prefer distributed SCM, such as Git.<br><br>>I suggest we follow this up on the pd-list. Maybe some people will<br>>have more time than me to work on this. (though I am interested in the<br>>C/X11 part)<br><br>>Cheers!<br>-- <br>>Alexandre Quessy<br>>http://alexandre.quessy.net/<br><BR><br><BR>Thank you very much for a quick response,<br>I have tried searching the forums and pd-list and found there are others who have encountered the same issues. http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-3524-generating-keypress<br>I have also attempted to compile the [input-event] external mentioned there and on pd-list but without success in that either.<br><br>As both a new user of Linux and Puredata, I'm inexperienced in the knowledge of the former, and current, packages, but based upon their descriptions I assume that the renamed packages in question are:<br> libx11-dev<br><br>and under that, the required packages are:<br>libdmx-dev<br>libx11-xcb-dev<br>libxaw7-dev<br>libxcomposite-dev<br>libxcursor-dev<br>libxdamage-dev<br>libxext-dev<br>libxfixes-dev<br>libxfont-dev<br>libxft-dev<br>libxi-dev<br>libxinerama-dev<br>libxkbfile-dev<br>libxmu-dev<br>libxmuu-dev<br>libxpm-dev<br>libxrandr-dev<br>libxrender-dev<br>libx-res-dev<br>libxss-dev<br>libxt-dev<br>libxtst-dev<br>libxv-dev<br>libxvmc-dev<br>libxxf86dga-dev<br>libxxf86vm-dev<br>xorg-dev<br>xserver-xorg-dev<br><br>I have no idea which of these are useful or not.<br>I have forwarded this onto the pd-list<br>All the best,<br>Josh<BR> </body>
