I was using this:
http://puredata.info/docs/developer/BuildingPdExtended
But recently I have been unable to build Pd this way because trunk is 
inconsistent ATM.
I think the idea is to choose a version in /branches and build that, 
starting in the packages directory. It worked for me with Pd-extended 
0.42.5 on linux at least. For the latest versions of externals build 
them separately from trunk/externals.
