How to build pd-extended on gentoo. 10/04/06.

1. Change to your $PARENT directory... I suggest /usr/src
   
   cd /usr/src
   
   1. Get the CVS checkout script
   
   wget http://pure-data.cvs.sourceforge.net/pure-data/scripts/checkout-developer-layout.sh?rev=HEAD
chmod +x checkout-developer-layout.sh
   
   2. Emerge dependancies of pd and plugins. This is by no means a complete list but it should help you get through most compile problems.

   3. edit /usr/src/pure-data/scripts/generate-pd-settings-files.sh and pay attention to 2 lines.
   
   GNULINUX_FONTPATH="/usr/share/fonts/TTF /usr/share/fonts/truetype /usr/share/fonts/yourfavoriteTTFfont"
ROOT_DIR="/usr/src/pure-data/packages"
   
   4. edit /usr/src/pure-data/Gem/src/Pixes/filmMPEG3.h and change the include from
   
   libmpeg3.h
   to
   libmpeg3/libmpeg3.h
   
   5. apply patches
   
   cd /usr/src/pure-data/packages
make patch_pd
   
   6. Build pd (if it fails, pay attention, you are probably missing a library)
   
   cd /usr/src/pure-data/packages/linux_make
make install
   
   7. Make a tarball of the package
   
   cd /usr/src/pure-data/packages/linux_make
make tarbz2
   This creates a file in /usr/src/pure-data/packages/linux_make/build
   i.e.: Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5-linux-i686.tar.bz2
   
   8. Install the package to your system
   
   cd /usr/src/pure-data/packages/linux_make/build
tar jxvfpl ./Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5-linux-i686.tar.bz2
cd ./Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5-linux-i686
make install
   The package will install to /usr/local
   
   9. Create your .pdsettings file. It must be in the home directory of the user running pd. I run it as root. :)
   
   cd /usr/src/pure-data/scripts
./generate-pd-settings-files.sh
cp /usr/src/packages/linux_make/.pdsettings ~/
   
   10. Make the changes permanent. Run the beast.
   
   ldconfig -v
pd
   
   That's it. It was fun. Thanks for reading.
