They do look nice though. :) https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/pipermail/audicle/2007-February/000055.html "ChucK/Audicle/miniAudicle do not yet support 64-bit. It should be okay, however, if you run 32-bit executables. We are hoping to make it 64-bit compatible someday soon." i believe we'll see compatiblity sooner rather than later, given that they have a real team focused on their projects. unlike the author of SC who got sucked into one of the 2 talent blackholes in the valley (Apple, the other being Google).. > > I built and employed the JUCE library, it's the business behind the popular Tracktion (Win/Mac only, afaik).

What a PITA. i cant find any info on how hsc/ssc/supyrcollider compares on a feature/performance level with SCLang itself. mainly im too lazy to set up the chroot to know what i should be comparing against (and learn haskell, python, and scheme).. > > I built and tested some of the code from the EnergyXT2 site, including a couple "native Linux VSTs" (the CMT > Bitcrusher and the Destroy FX Transverb).

Anyone have > a better method for this project, maybe one that doesn't require transcode ? transcode and mjpegtools are installed here (maybe mencoder uses them?). i didnt do anythign special other than emerge them some time ago. in /usr/portage/media-video/mjpegtools/files i notice -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1015 2006-08-28 17:36 mjpegtools-1.8.0-as-needed.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1092 2006-11-19 13:06 mjpegtools-1.8.0-fix-lav2mpeg.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 420 2005-12-19 05:19 mjpegtools-1.8.0-gcc41.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2473 2006-11-19 12:22 mjpegtools-1.8.0-lavrec-memleak.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1186 2006-07-30 07:42 mjpegtools-1.8.0-libquicktime.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1539 2006-11-20 08:02 mjpegtools-1.8.0-no-jpeg-mmx.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2163 2006-02-05 18:47 mjpegtools-1.8.0-parallelmake.patch -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 423 2006-08-25 08:21 mjpegtools-1.8.0-pkg-config.patch maybe one of those is responsible for making it compile.. > > Okay, peace out, ciao for now. > > Best, > > dp >
