The Pd-extended stuff usually relies on patches to the Pd core.  These 
patches are then submitted to Miller, which he mostly has been 
accepting.  The patches which you need to apply vary based on which 
version you are trying to compile.

Right now, if you go to "packages/"  and run "make patch_pd", it will 
apply the patches needed for 0.39.2.  If you are using the latest 
version in CVS, then a lot of these patches are already included, and 
then you'll have to include a couple patches by hand.

For example, import.c relies on packages/patches/libdir-0.38-4.patch, 
which should apply cleanly to both 0.39.2 and the latest in CVS.

Also, as a rule of thumb when trying to build the whole Pd-extended 
package, just remove the offending file and it will then continue 
building from there.  So in this case, if you "rm 
externals/loaders/import.c", it will continue building.

Also, I find it easier to build "externals" first to find these 
problems, then when you can get a clean build from "externals", then try 
  packages/darwin_app.  So just "cd externals && make"  then when that 
works, "cd ../packages/darwin_app && make install".
