First off, Edgar Berdahl has been nice enough to release a set of np_nifalcon related pd patches from the Physical Interfaces class at CCRMA@Stanford. They're now available on the sourceforge site. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/libnifalcon/np_nifalcon-puredata-demo-patches.tar.gz?use_mirror= They'll be rolled into the next release of np_nifalcon, but I'm still not sure when that's going to be, so they're available there for the moment. In development news... As usual, what I was planning as a 2-3 hour session fixing up the windows version of libnifalcon has reached into 2 days now. I set my goal this time around to be a release of the np_nifalcon external for Pd on windows, which is now up on sourceforge. However, I'd REALLY let the ftd2xx comm core and windows build functionality fall apart over the past few months, so there was a lot of fixing that needed to happen. I'm now using mingw to build it (so far I've tried visual studio, nmake, and cygwin, and mingw seems to be working out the best), with a decent amount of success. I'll hopefully have all of the fixes merged in by the weekend. The main problem with windows right now is that I'm still stuck on a very old, very finnicky box for compilation and testing. I'm probably going to boot camp one of my macs to XP this week in order to remedy that situation, and try to keep windows builds in line with the rest of the platforms. Though I suppose the question is... Anyone use windows for this project that would care about having libnifalcon on it? I kinda figure that if you're on windows, you'll most likely just use the HDAL, unless there's some licensing issue (which you may be stuck under anyways until we get the firmware reversed). |
