[PD-dev] desire OSX

[james tittle]

matju (or anyone else working on desire),

...just got around to trying (again) to get desire running on osx,  
with the app_pkg setup...seems like only some minor tweaks were  
needed to current cvs of desire.tk:  as before, the problems have to  
do with setting up tcl so it knows where pd is...personally, I think  
that

set $OS $tcl_platform(platform)

isn't fine grained enough for our purposes, but would be better if it  
were:

set $OS $tcl_platform(os)

...doing that, $OS is set to Darwin here, but with (platform) I also  
get unix, which isn't very specific 8-\

...likewise, I changed the $OS ref's from "osx" to "Darwin", and now  
I'm back to starting up:

DesireData 0.39.ATcl 8.5, Tk 8.5
tcl_platform(osVersion) = 8.3.0
tcl_platform(byteOrder) = bigEndian
tcl_platform(threaded) = 1
tcl_platform(machine) = Power Macintosh
tcl_platform(platform) = unix
tcl_platform(os) = Darwin
tcl_platform(user) = tigital
tcl_platform(wordSize) = 4

...but then it doesn't go any further:  here's what I get when trying  
to open a patch:

can not find channel named ""
can not find channel named ""
     while executing
"puts $sock "$s;""
     (procedure "pd" line 4)
     invoked from within
"pd pd open [enquote $basename] [enquote $directory]"
     (procedure "client_open_file_really" line 8)
     invoked from within
"client_open_file_really 00000001 /Users/tigital/puredataDev/ 
devel_0_39/pd/doc/2.control.examples/03.connections.pd"
     ("eval" body line 1)
     invoked from within
"eval [concat [list $name $self] [lrange $args 2 end]]"
     (procedure "::unknown" line 18)
     invoked from within
"$self open_file_really $filename"
     (procedure "client_open_file" line 4)
     invoked from within
"client_open_file 00000001"
     ("eval" body line 1)
     invoked from within
"eval [concat [list $name $self] [lrange $args 2 end]]"
     (procedure "::unknown" line 18)
     invoked from within
"00000001 open_file"
     (menu invoke)

...any insight here?  I'm wondering if it still tries to just call pd  
without the pd_path:  the app_pkg bundle doesn't have the "standard"  
install locations for pd and friends:

desire.app/
desire.app/Contents/
desire.app/Contents/MacOS/desire (ie. "wish", + locale/ & objective.tcl)
desire.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd (+ libpdtcl.dylib, desire.tk,  
icons/, etc...)
desire.app/Contents/Resources/doc
desire.app/Contents/Resources/extra
desire.app/Contents/Resources/include
desire.app/Contents/Resources/man
desire.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts

...etc...
