changed: - ---- === Possible Mentors === *Hans-Christoph Steiner *IOhannes m zmölnig === Description === PDP (Pure Data Packet) is a popular extension library for Pure Data, providing video and other media processing fuctionality. Unfortunately it is one of the few extensions to Pure Data, which only run on Linux and Mac. As PDP is used by many people for !VJing, video-processing, motion-tracking, etc. there is a big interest to port pdp to the windows platform. The goal of this project is to port the whole PDP and !PiDiP library to windows, preferred using gcc and !MinGW. Resources to start: *PDP code: http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/pdp/ *!PiDiP code: http://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/pure-data/trunk/externals/pidip/ *http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO : a tutorial on how to write C externals for pure data *http://zwizwa.be/pdp/ : information about PDP *http://ydegoyon.free.fr/pidip.html : information about !PiDiP === Required Skills === *C programming *experience with MinGW will be very helpful *some knowledge with buildsystems (makefiles, autoconf) on Windows *interest in video processing
