how to link against pd on osx ishas undergone several changes (at least:
one big change) , additionally depending on the pd-version used. (since
pd has to be compiled in a "special" way in order to enable certain linking)

the best documentation you will find is by looking at existing
osX-enabled externals and how they are built.
this is the (high? low??) price you often have to pay when getting
involved in opensource development.

just as an example: iemmatrix is really plain C (no external libraries),
it comes with autoconf; just run configure and inspect the generated
Makefile to see which flags are used there and adopt your own
build-system accordingly
