gem for Debian ---------------------- Usage: to start Pd with Gem support, issue the command (without the '%' sign) % pd -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem -lib Gem OR use the provided script instead of directly starting Pd: % /usr/bin/pd-gem OR start Pd - navigate to "File->Path..." and add "/usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem" to the list of search-paths - click OK - navigate to "File->Startup..." and add "Gem" to the list of binaries to be loaded - click "Apply" and "Save all settings" OR add the following lines to your ~/.pdrc file (deprecated) -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem -lib Gem KNOWN PROBLEMS ============== 1. crashes when creating/destroying a window: Gem relies on being able to establish one or more openGL contexts. By default it creates 2 contexts on startup, which might lead to unexpected behaviour (e.g. crashes when closing the Gem-window) on some systems (depending on gfx-card/driver). if this happens to you, please try setting the environment variable "GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT" to "1" before starting Pd/Gem. e.g. start Pd/Gem with: % GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1 pd -path /usr/lib/pd/extra/Gem -lib Gem -- IOhannes m zmölnig , Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:56:51 +0200
