[PD] Collaborating across systems/platforms

Sat May 14 10:52:42 CEST 2016

Thanks for the tip Patrick.
The prospect of having to compile sounds scary to non-developer ears... We really do operate in a slightly naive way, without any deep acquaintance with the even the most basic inner workings of Linux. 
So I believe I will migrate the school's system to L2Ork and switch to Vanilla for the rest of the team.

Cheers!

It's also helpful to know (IMHO) that 42.5 is the last stable pd-extended. If you want stuff that works post that like Lua/Python you should definitely use vanilla and add manually. And on Linux build from source when possible.

Well, we were unable to install the latest PD-extended on newer OSXs,  and reverting to older versions of extended, coupled with the knowledge that this is an unmaintained software caused some frustration. Consequently, every encounter with disparity
 between available objects and libs led to additional frustration. 

We actually didn't try all working on vanilla and adding the libs manually. I think I'm gonna follow Hans' and Patrick's suggestion, which seems like a very basic and reasonable approach. 

Thanks!

Hello Eran,

I don't understand the problem.  What is making collaboration so difficult?

 mostly MAX users, working on different systems (OSXs, me on Windows - none of us is an experienced Linux user). Our aim was to be able to work collectively but also each develop personal parts of the research. Since our department computer runs on Ubuntu,
 and since my primary environment (and investment) is in PD, I opted for running our project in PD-extended. Our main library is the iem_ambi, but other iem stuff and additional extended libs prefigure considerably.
