Hello,

I'm new here, new to pure data and also a noob in general when it comes to terminal command line etc. i have used pure data years ago but never dug deep enough. For a (eventually raspberry pi) project i need to set up fftease on intel mac (for now) and possible other library's as well. compiling these extensions seems like a good skill, i dont want to rely on others that have done it for me, but if there is a fftease 2.5.2 64 compiled version somewhere, please point me to it as i could not find it.

After trying to get fftease working i realised that i was doing the right thing with the {declare} object but was doing it with 32bit bin files on 64bit Pd, after i downloaded 32bit Pd everything seems to work.

What i'm asking myself is, is it a good idea to run 32 pure data on a 64bit intel mac? i may (or possible user error) already run into some problems.

How do i compile fftease 32bit files to 64bit bin in the terminal and should i only compile the .dll files? i have searched stack overflow etc. but i could not find a straight answer.

Thanks for reading

TBH, I'm not sure if it depends on the compiler and your OS, as to what sort of executable you'll get if you compile the library yourself. You can try to do it though and see if you can make it work.
I guess the library comes with a Makefile. If so, all you need to do is run "make" on the library's root directory. There should be a README and/or an INSTALL file there which should give directions for compilation. If you compile it successfully, then you need to point the path to Pd's search path (Preferences -> Path...) (if the library consists of many objects), or put it in Pd's startup flags (Preferences -> Startup...) if it consists of a single object. I think FFTease if the first case. Restart Pd and you'll be good to go.
Come back here if it doesn't work.

P.S. .dll files are for Windows, what you need is either ,pd_darwin or .d_fat for OS X, and .pd_linux for the Pi.

Thank you, I realise that compiling the library might be harder then i thought. i think there must be a makefile on a github somewhere.

So this might be user error, the thing that happens when i load any of the objects from the fftease library (in 32bit pd) and start the help file, load a sound, dsp on etc. it does not play the sound but instead outputs a enormous wall of glitchy sound, that goes way in the red of my soundcards totalmix. Other patches work fine.

I have no errors when loading any of the objects (for instance i get morphine~ - a member of FFTease 2.52), i have also deleted all .dll and linux extensions from the library.

Should 32bit pd work without any problems on a 64bit intel mac? I am still not sure what 32bit fftease library means in my case and if there is any need to compile.

I don't think that 32-bit will play nice with 64-bit, but I might be wrong here. I suggest you try to compile yourself and compare the two.
