[PD] VLC 2.1.x and Gem

[Etienne Landon]

Ok so I tried with gem 0.93.git b8b6549, both ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10, still
crashing even with only gem_videoVLC and gemglutwindow plugins.
I'm going to try again from a fresh install, perhaps some crap of my
yesterdays tries is still here and there. I guess I still have to try with
pd0.46 and/or lua 5.2.

One thing, with gem0.93.git b8b6549 I need to manually add gem path when
starting pd, it doesn't find it automatically and adding the path in
preferences is not saved. Is it a normal behaviour ?

I put below the process I aways make when installing a fresh pd-extended,
perhaps there is some old line that doesn't work anymore that could explain
why I can't have it work here when it's working nice with others.

So :
**install ubuntu (or mint) then upgrade*
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

**install pd-extended (from pure data site)*
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases `lsb_release
-c | awk '{print $2}'` main"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key
9f0fe587374bbe81
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key
D63D3D09C39F5EEB
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pd-extended

When trying with 14.10 I manually change unicorn to trusty
in /etc/apt/sources.list

*compile gem (from labomedia wiki)
sudo apt-get install git-core automake autotools-dev build-essential libtool
sudo apt-get build-dep puredata gem pd-pdp
sudo apt-get install libdc1394-22-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
ftgl-dev libmagic++-dev libgmerlin-dev libmpeg3-dev libavifile-0.7-dev
libquicktime-dev libdv4-dev libv4l-dev libvlc-dev libvlccore-dev
libgmerlin-avdec-dev libassimp-dev     <- used to have libglut3-dev but
it's not present anymore so I removed it

git clone git://pd-gem.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pd-gem/Gem    *or git
clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/pd-gem/gem
<http://git.code.sf.net/p/pd-gem/gem> pd-gem-gem for *b8b6549
cd Gem
aclocal
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install    *this puts Gem in /usr/local/lib/pd/extra, I move it
in pd-extended extra folder manually*
sudo mv /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/Gem /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra/Gem-old
sudo cp -R /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/Gem /usr/lib/pd-extended/extra

With mint it's enough, with ubuntu I have to add a "sudo apt-get install
vlc" else the plugin is loaded but disabled in Gem

Is there anything wrong with my procedure ?
