Re: [chuck-users] Music created from a chuck example

I did a port of [rtcmix~] to windows, and RTcmix was originally developed under unix (linux now). Apple does provide some very useful development tools, and I have to make decisions about how much time to spend in porting to platforms I don't use. This is why I put all my source code on-line, in case others want to laugh their way through my pathetic coding skills and make it fly for others. I probably will attempt a windows port of [chuck~] for max/msp sometime in the not-to-distant future, but that's mainly responding to the needs of our students (many of whom are windows users). I look forward to a day when compiling for other platforms simply involves changing a few makefile/project switches. Someday... brad http://music.columbia.edu/~brad Quoting David Powers :

Well, I guess it's a big difference also, that PD doesn't just run on a Mac. So if your code is Mac-specific, that's could be a huge pain. But I hope that the port is really happening as you suggest.

I get a little frustrated when people write Mac-only stuff, as I don't see ever affording a mac in the near future. I realize many have access to them or just consider them the natural platform for artistic/musical software. But it's not very accessible for people with low incomes I think.

How much code/difficulty was involved in creating the [chuck~] object?

The only tricky part was the loading into max/msp of a bundled/shared lib that I compiled from the chuck sources (I need to update it to the latest version of chuck soon!). Apple did a good thing in their bundle idea, I just needed to change a few compilation flags. I also added a few additional functions (and renamed "main()" to "chuck-main()" or something like that) to allow me to find the entry points I need to call the chuck engines from max/msp.

Max/msp is WAY out of my price range, but I'd love to have something like that in PD. I don't know if I could convince someone on

PD list to port it though...

Supposedly there are some people working on this -- Marcus Bittencourt at William and Mary had expressed a lot of interest. Not sure what stage those projects are right now, though.
