feature-request-port-maxmsp-to-linux

Hi. I asked the C74 guys about this last week - there are no current plans to support Linux (unfortunately)...

I think PD is currently the route to go for that..

Let me code an external for that. Oh wait...

Guys, this has been requested for years and years. C74 knows there's demand for that.

Sure, but if they still do not have a Linux port in their intinerary it might make sense to remind our nice engineers again :) Porting from OSX to Linux seems much easier, than to Windows, no?

Since Juce is a cross-platform framework it shouldn't be a too difficult..

Ullrich, tell us more about Juce, please.

So I'll repeat my wish for a Max no-GUI command line execution.

What about gen? That should be easy, why not make a linux(and other OS) no-gui command line wrapper for gen code?

lol, once a year. +1 for that matter.

:P


oh that's interesting! I didn't know that there at least 

oh that's interesting! I didn't know that there at least were so serious thoughts about going linux.


So as far as i understand, that means, that generally it wouldn't be hard to port maxmsp to Linux, but M4L and Mira complicate the issue? I coudl live with a PD-kind of GUI.

You sound ironic. But you know, i'd seriously wish for a port to Linux, as currently it seems to be the only platform, which supports custom made hardware for this kind of thing. RaspberryPI etc.

Thanx for more insight.

does someone have any idea if Ableton is considering to port live to Linux ? they and c74 might secretly conspire to cross the gap together, who knows...

(my second comment on this was actually meant seriously)

sorry, I really want max to be ported to linux, and I can't imagine there are many people out there who work with max seriously and haven't thought of this. It would be just great.

But linus torwalds himself moans about linux on desktop all the time, it just takes time, and I honestly believe it will rule the world :) I mean linux is far ahead in all other places but the desktop..

every time I see this post I have a chuckle to myself at the "feature request" tag - no offence to the OP :)

Well, i think, that the subject is even more open now due to the small new pocket things. The live implications of this are endless, much better than with ableton, if i may be so ironic. Without a monitor one actually plays music. Well, that's just me.

It's surely clever to use PD right away instead of waiting on MaxMSP for long.

@woyteg
Pardon me, i got you wrong obviously.

Lee, yes, well, psychologically it works better this way.

What makes you chuckle, does it seem not polite enough for you?

(Ableton Live's main ideas seem repetition, syncing, looping etc - MaxMSP is much broader an idea.)

no, just that I'd think of it more as a complete port to another operating system (i.e. a massive piece of work) rather than a feature request (e.g. allow me to change the colour of x to y) - just funny is all

If you put a business hat on, then you have to ask what would be the ROI? Given that most Linux users don't want to pay for anything, it's hard to see why C74 would bother.

A good point - will be interesting to find out what %age of Bitwig users end up being Linux based...

"Not for programming issues, but mainly for commercial reasons." -> that's the point!

Would love linux version as well, for commercial reasons. It's not cheap or stable enough on windows or mac to make a commercial product that would be as good as if it would work on Linux.

I can't talk to Windows but I don't see why a Linux version would be any more or less stable than a Mac version.

I'm on mac and the new OSX features are really not fun to me. Big Brother…

The only reason for me not to go on Mageia or another Linux is actually Max.

The day there is a Max Port to Linux will be a bye bye OSX for me.

I want to deploy software made with Max on raspberry pis.

@VICHUG I think this is where BitWig is trying to enter the market.

Just coming from a Bitwig party, they have 30% Linux users. The potential is much higher than one would believe. I know a lot of musicians who are seriously pissed off by Apple/Windows behaviours. I would do the switch...

Ok, Bitwig has no competition at all on Linux, and its hard to tell how many of these 30% are actually additional customers. I am sure the effort would pay off...

hi @all . Just played a bit with GenPi and couldnt get much out of it lately . Do any of you still use it or had succesfully done something usefull with it? 

If you wanna try it and have troubles with RtAudio RtMidi when compiling look at the issue I posted , it should solve the problems
