Installation instructions for Flext and Py ext

Installation instructions for Flext and pyext on Ubuntu 14.10 (64 Bit) on a Dell XPS 13

Download the Pure Data source code
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/pure-data/pure-data/

Checkout flext
svn co https://svn.grrrr.org/ext/trunk/flext/

cd into flext

run ./build.sh pd gcc

This will return an error but will also create a config file in ./buildsys/

cd to buildsys and open config-lnx-pd-gcc.txt

Change line 3 to the PDPATH variable to point to the Pure Data source code e.g. PDPATH=/home/hellocatfood/Desktop/pure-data/src

Optionally change OUTPATH on line 17 and INSTPATH on line 20 to point to a different directory to build and install externals e.g. OUTPATH=/home/hellocatfood/Desktop/flext/pd-linux and INSTPATH=/home/hellocatfood/pd-externals/

Change line 61 to match your system architecture. I am using a 64 bit machine so it reads OFLAGS+=-march=x86-64

Still in the Flext directory, run ./build.sh pd gcc. This will create a config.txt file.

Run ./build.sh pd gcc again.

Then run sudo ./build.sh pd gcc install

Now checkout the py ext source code
svn co https://svn.grrrr.org/ext/trunk/py/

From the py folder run
bash /home/hellocatfood/Desktop/flext/build.sh pd gcc install

It will return an error but also create a config.txt file. Open this file and change  PYTHONVERSION on line 5 to PYTHONVERSION=2.7 (I haven't tried compiling against Python 3). You may need to install python-dev (sudo apt-get install pthon-dev)

Then run
bash /home/hellocatfood/Desktop/flext/build.sh pd gcc

Finally, bash /home/hellocatfood/Desktop/flext/build.sh pd gcc install
