[PD] compile pd-0.45-5 on Linux with autogen.sh

[David Medine via Pd-list]

It looks like you might be missing some libraries, specifically alsa and 
tcl/tk. Does mint use apt-get for packages or is it yum? I have no idea. 
Either way, use your package manager to download and install the proper 
packages.

 > sudo yum install tcl tk

does it on distros using yum.

Looking at the output of the .autogen.sh it appears that autogen is 
choosing portaudio and portmidi to host audio and midi. The makefile.gnu 
wants alsa and oss by default. This is a little funny because it seems 
like mint would ship with alsa. Again, I don't know about  mint. Alsa 
could be there, but in an unusual directory. You may have to set your 
system's environment variables to include whichever director alsa lives 
in. I think the variable is C_INCLUDE_PATH, but don't hold me to that. 
Running

 > pkg-config --cflags alsa

should tell you where alsa is. On my computer it is in /usr/local/lib.

Also, if you want to build with jack, hit

 > make JACK=true -f makefile.gnu

Again, jack must be installed and somewhere your c compiler knows about.

Good luck!
