[PD-dev] Pd 0.48 app bundle without src dir

[Dan Wilcox]

Despite popular opinion, an auto tools source release has already created the configure script so users do *not* need to run the autotools themselves, just ./configure && make.

One difference is that the mac and windows releases rely on a slightly different folder structure than that of the expected auto tools install (ie. Unix-style layout). In this case, one option is to leave everything in a source directory as suggested and then have a separate installer script which puts things into the right place. IMO it's easier to let configure/make do their jobs and extra stuff like this is better handled by installing into a temp directory and/or using a script to put things "in the right place".

It's totally possible and probably the next step after the Windows build is ironed out. (We are working on it: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/25#issuecomment-348724495 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/25#issuecomment-348724495>)
