[PD] Errors building PD from source

[Ian Andrews]

Hi All,

I'm trying to build Pd-0.42-5 on Mac OSX 10.5.5 intel (tk/tcl8.5.7) It  
compiles ok but when I go to make it gives the following errors:

/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk             -arch i386 -arch ppc -Wno-error -O2   
-o ../bin/pd-watchdog s_watchdog.c
ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o
ld: library not found for -lcrt1.10.5.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
lipo: can't open input file: /var/folders/JJ/JJlSAMjyENGNhM-Li9ZWvE++ 
+TI/-Tmp-//ccl7yaI2.out (No such file or directory)
make: *** [../bin/pd-watchdog] Error 1

As far as I can see from the man file ld searches first in /usr/lib.  
In /usr/lib there is a file called crt1.10.5.o

Anyone know what's going on?

I have also tried compiling Pd-0.41.4-extended but contrary to the  
install instructions there is no configure file in the src directory ,  
just configure.in. Not quite sure how to proceed here.

Before anyone says 'why not use the binary' I'm building from source  
because I want to be able to start up PD from a shell script with  
various flags. IOW I need PD to start up and load a patch, set the  
correct output device, etc. automatically and reliably. Its for a  
gallery installation.  Any suggestion of alternative strategies would  
be welcome.

I'm fairly new to pd but I have been building from source on Macosx  
and linux for a few years. Usually I can work it out. This time I'm  
really stuck.
