[PD-dev] Compiling pd against Tcl/Tk X11 on Darwin

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

A Fink package of Pd-extended would be quite nice.  Tigital has been  
talking about it because it would be faster and the GUI will use less  
CPU.

The C code will probably be easy to get going, but there is going to  
be some added checks on the Tcl/Tk side of things (pd/src/u_main.tk  
aka pd.tk).  Basically, the GUI only checks the OS not the Windowing  
engine.  So you'll have to add checks to pd/src/u_main.tk.  In an  
installed app its known as bin/pd.tk, but its the exact same file.


This is the command you'll need: tk windowingsystem

which returns one of

  aqua
  win32
  x11

tk::mac::useCGDrawing is a Tk/Aqua-only command, so that might be the  
only change needed.
