Maybe not the best place to discuss this, but then I could actually use
some help form others, as, like I just said in the other subject/thread, my
experience with linux and raspberry pi is limited.

I have a VM in a mac that runs ubuntu and I'm able to cross compile in it
for raspberry pis thanks to a friend who set it up for me, but I was never
able to use it to compile these new three objects that need more steps.

Anyway, thanks for your interest and help, let's dig in...

I do provide pd-lib-builder in a subfolder of the ELSE source code, so you
don't really need to bother installing it yourself.

Yup. If you're cloning from github you should have this "pd-else" folder.
If you download the source from the github site you get something like
"pd-else-master" or "pd-else-1.0-rc9-pre-test" (preferred for what you
want, which is building this release). Just just go to this directory on
your terminal to run the make code.

move the built and generated folder. In this case it would be a folder
called "else" created inside a "else-build" subfolder in the source code of
ELSE.

I actually do "objectsdir=../" and look for the 'else' folder in the same
folder as the source code of ELSE...

So, when you're done generating your folder, move it to install it as any
external library into your preferred externals folder.

Wherever you like. I use the ~/Documents/Pd/externals folder.

Add the else folder (wherever it is) to the user added search paths, that
you can set under preferences ==> path

That is the same directory for the regular build, like "pd-else".

I don't really use 'pdincludepath'... pdlibbuilder finds it if you have it.
But you gotta have pd-0.54-0 installed, preferably just this version.

Like I said in the other thread, you need to have 'cmake' installed, which
may be something that comes out of the box in raspberry pi?

Anyway, that's all I know, that's what I need to do to build it in my mac,
but I have no idea if it'll run smoothly in a raspberry pi and I'm afraid I
won't know what to do if you hit a wall :)

Hope it works, let us know

thanks
