I had success building pd-0.41-0test06 for Intel Mac OS X. What I did  
was:

- Made the following symlinks in /Library/Frameworks to link to the  
-- in resent versions of Mac OS X -- included version of Tcl/TK:
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework -> /System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Tcl.framework
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework -> /System/Library/Frameworks/ 
Tk.framework

- Downloaded the src from Millers site

- Unpacked

- cd'ed to the src folder

- ran ./configure

- did not run 'make depend' as the INSTALL.txt said since them same  
file refers to a HTML document (ie. the Pd manual) that say one are  
just to run 'make' and doesn't mention 'make depend' at all.  
Confusing, but...

- ran make

But i didn't get a '.app' application out of it.

I've tried to manually follow the instructions in CVSROOT/packages/ 
darwin_app/Makefile but whit out much luck. I'm told that the  
application is either incomplete or corrupted. I'll give it a few  
more shots, but i have a question now also: Does it make a difference  
if one use `install` to make the dir's and move in the files as  
opposed to use `mkdir` and `mv`/`cp`?

When i've completed building a '.app' application i'll put the info  
up on http://puredata.info/docs/developer/MacOSXApp

This was the building part. Now the apply patches part. Before i  
blast it all i'd like to know if i could be of any help wrt pd- 
extended? Is the next Pd-extended aimaed at the 0.41 version of Pd or  
the 0.40 version? Are there any particular patches i could be helpful  
trying to apply? I can say for my part i'm mostly interested in those  
that alter the GUI.

Best, Steffen
