libpd

Libpd is a project mainly written in C and PURE DATA, based on the View license.

Pure Data wrapper

For documentation of libpd, see the wiki: http://gitorious.org/pdlib/pages/Home

Layout of the libpd repository:

  • pure-data: The folder containing the sources of Pd Vanilla and standard externals. This subtree is a subset of Miller Puckette's official Pd git repository, available at git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data, with minimal changes.

    We're keeping our own copy of the sources of Pd in order to have the option of adding optimizations and other changes that may not make it into the official version immediately, but the overall policy is to maintain compatibility with the official version. Please don't make any incompatible changes in the pure-data branch, and don't add anything specific to libpd that you wouldn't expect to eventually be merged into the official version.

  • libpd_wrapper: This folder contains the source files that make up the core of libpd.

  • Android.mk, Makefile, libpd.xcodeproj: Build support for various platforms. I figure the Android makefile is pretty much finished, but the build system for other platforms still needs work. The Makefile for build shared libraries on Linux is crude but functional. The one for Macs is tentative and untested, and we currently don't have a makefile for Windows. Feel free to improve the build system in any way you see fit.

  • java, objc, python: Glue for using libpd with Java, Objective C, and Python. Feel free to improve or add support for other languages such as Lua.

  • samples: Currently, this branch only contains one small sample program in C built on top of libpd. It's probably redundant, but it may give you an idea how to embed libpd into your own applications.
