[PD-dev] How to customize Pd.app for macOS?

[Roman Haefeli]

I guess I figured it out.

From the scripts in <pd>/mac/ I found that <app>/Contents/MacOS/Pd is
actually a wish binary, which starts <app>/Contents/Resources/tcl/pd-
gui.tcl, which in turn starts the pd binary in
<app>/Contents/Resources/bin/pd. 

So what I do now is to edit the appropriate line in pd-gui.tcl
(currently 781) and specify the desired start options there:

  exec -- $pd_exec -guiport $::port -open ../patches/mypatch.pd &

Seems to work.

BTW, I'm amazed how easy it is to build a Pd.app on macOS. Nice work,
Dan!
