[PD-dev] issues compiling Pd in macOS mojave

[Dan Wilcox]

For developing, you'll need to generally test using the Pd.app as noticed problems with macOS 10.14 and the built-in Tcl/Tk.

If you are only testing changes on the Pd core and not the Tcl scripts, there is no need to rebuild the Pd.app each time. You can simply copy the pd binary  into the app bundle before running it:

    make
    cp src/pd Pd-0.49-1.app/Contents/Resources/bin
    open ./Pd-0.49-1.app

If you need to see stdout/stderr or run a debugger, you can launch the core from within the app bundle directly:

    ./Pd-0.49-1.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd
