libpd folder is empty? #6

Closed maelswarm closed 7 years ago

maelswarm commented 10 years ago

So I downloaded pd-for-ios a few months ago, but accidently deleted the pdtest01 sample project. So I re-downloaded it today, and I noticed that the libpd folder was empty. This isn't a problem for me since I already have the files, but for a first time downloader...

libpd is included with pd-for-ios by way of git submodules. Therefore, after cloning the repo you should git submodule init and git submodule update. Alternatively you can git clone --recursive to clone and init/update submodules in one.

However, I recommend that you include libpd using Cocoapods - http://cocoapods.org/. There is an open issue on the libpd repo for this. https://github.com/libpd/libpd/pull/39

I used the submodule method to download LibPD, then noticed that the most recent commit date for the LibPD submodule is December 2012. I also searched for libpd in cocoapods, but found no results.

Not great for someone looking to get started with libpd on iOS.

I've found that ignoring the submodule and copying the latest libpd repo into pd-for-ios/libpd works, but it's a sloppy workaround. I think the libpd submodule should be updated, same again for the pd-for-ios readme file. Or am I missing something?

You can also cd into a submodule dir and then do a pull and/or checkout a newer tag.

In any case, the submodule has been updated more regularly now, so I'm closing the issue.
