<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I know that Pd is not <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://puredata.info/docs/faq/standalone">standalone</a>,
but I wonder how to build an entire Pd project with libraries,
externals, helps, abstractions, settings, tclplugins into an
executable (not an installer).</p>
<p>Three goals are persistents :</p>
<ul>
<li>Use Pd in schools or in workshops. Often students have no
administrator rights on computers, are note able to install
softwares. And we loose them when we have to download Pd + 10
needed libraries + our project.<br>
</li>
<li>Share big project</li>
<li>Do not interfere with other pd installations (like settings
file, or objects location).<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Some ways how big project work around these issues : <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Egregore, which have to manage different strategies for O.S. A
script launches Pd executable + libraries. Which seems the
easiest way.</li>
<li>Purr Data, a modern approach, but a fork<br>
</li>
<li>CEAMMC Pd : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/uliss/pure-data">https://github.com/uliss/pure-data</a>, which seems a
in-between solution<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>We could discuss about these solutions.<br>
</p>
<p>Is there a simple tutorial about building pd for each platform
containing our folders, libraries, settings, tcl interface, and
compress it as a folder for instance ? Is it possible to build
from just one computer (x-compilation) ? Sub-purpose would be to
maintain all project in order to be up to date : download or
update Pd and all needed libraries for each platform (Deken seems
not allowing that now)<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for any tip.</p>
<p>Sharing knowledges : I'm not "compilation-friendly", if some
people are interested to go deeper inside Pd, we could organize
like an online learning session (master class) with a Pd Yoda
Master ? We could document this.</p>
