[PD] SOLVED!: Building ELSE for Pd Vanilla (here RPi OS 11 32-bit)

[Linux Rouen Normandie]

Hello Alexandre & IOhannes,

1- Thanks a lot for your guidance and help. 😎
ELSE 1.0-0 rc-9 Pre/Test (downloaded today from Git) is running well 
under Pd 0.54.0 / RPi OS-11 32-bit (armv7) base Debian 11 / RPi 400 (h/w).
I tested it with one of my MIDI patch using, among other externals' 
objects, [else/midi], [else/keyboard] and [else/sfont~].

2- For people interested, I recap what I did on my RPi 400.
- Pd 0.51.4, 1st install from RPi repository (base on Debian 11 32-bit).
- Then, successfully updated to Pd 0.53.0, 0.53.1 and 0.54.0 by 
compiling them from their source code downloaded from Miller's site 
<https://msp.puredata.info/software.html> and then installing them.
- Latest ELSE external accessible thru Pd/Deken was v.1.0-0 rc-6.

3- As Else v.1.0-0 rc-9 for ARM is neither available thru Pd/Deken nor 
directly from Alexandre's Git, I decided to try to compil it.
My 3rd and last trial was successful and it took about 10 minutes.
- Download pd-else-master.zip 
<https://github.com/porres/pd-else/archive/refs/heads/master.zip> and 
uncompress it where you want, then follow Alexandre's Building 
instructions 
<https://github.com/porres/pd-else#building-else-for-pd-vanilla>.
- With my RPi 400 setup this gives in a Terminal:
. 1st pass in 2 steps:
     pi at RPi400:~/Downloads/pd-else-master $ make 
pdincludepath=/home/pi/Desktop/Pd-Compil_RPi400/pd-0.54-0/src
     pi at RPi400:~/Downloads/pd-else-master $ make install 
objectsdir=~/else-build
. 2nd pass also in 2 steps, but only if needed for [sfont~], [sfz~] and 
[plaits~]
     pi at RPi400:~/Downloads/pd-else-master $ make sfont sfz plaits 
pdincludepath=/home/pi/Desktop/Pd-Compil_RPi400/pd-0.54-0/src
     pi at RPi400:~/Downloads/pd-else-master $ make sfont-install 
sfz-install plaits-install objectsdir=~/else-build
- Move the new Else folder (which is now available within your 
/home/pi/else-build) to the place where the former Else external was. If 
needed rename the former one for keeping a copy of it in case of (it's 
always what I'm doing).
- You are done!

4- Two remarks concerning the issues I was facing to:
- As Pd 0.51.4 was first installed from RPi repository, installing my 
compiled Pd 0.53.0 above it was making an issue with the its Dev-Headers.
For avoiding that, first clean Pd 0.51.4 installation by removing the 
remaining:
     puredata-dev/stable,now 0.51.4-1
- As the compilation of Else needs to have access to the ~/pd-0.54-0/src 
folder, make sure you have also available on your Raspberry Pi the 
source code of the latest Pd version you have used for compiling it.
And don't skip the 1st command given by Alexandre.

5- The ELSE compiled folder / nb of file 1083 / size ~ 55 MB for RPi 
armv7 (32-bit) is available on demand.
But it's missing both 'Live-Electronics-Tutorial' and 'pdlua' folders.

Best,
Joseph Gastelais
