Compiling PureData externals for Bela

git clone --recursive https://github.com/pure-data/helloworld.git

  • Follow the instructions in the repository (and perhaps build the test project to familiarise yourself).

  • Add your sources and patches to the folder (myobject.c, myobject-help.pd, etc).

  • Modify the make command's pdincludepath argument to point at Bela's libpd installation:

make install pdincludepath=/usr/local/include/libpd objectsdir=./build

  • Move the compiled external(s) and patch(es) (myobject.pd_linux, myobject-help.pd, etc) to /root/Bela/projects/pd-externals/.

  • Alternatively, you can set the build output folder to /root/Bela/projects/pd-exernals:

make install pdincludepath=/usr/local/include/libpd objectsdir=/root/Bela/projects/pd-exernals
  • You should now be able to use [myobject] and open [myobject-help] on Bela!
