[PD] Irix PD (staticly linked now)

[Søren Bovbjerg]

Hi Joerg (and PD list)

It seems that the tcl/tk libs are hardcoded to be located at the 
directory specified when tcl/tk is compiled. Also it requires an 
absolute path to function correctly (I've tried relative path with no 
luck).

The solution seems to be to create a staticly linked pd-gui. I have 
created such file and made a new package. Still I have great trouble 
testing this outside our domain but I think it is independant of other 
libs now.

Also I have provided tcl/tk libs for static linking (.a files).

I really hope it works now - and sorry for the mess yesterday :-)

The package is available at:
http://www.cvmt.dk/~sb/pd

The file is:
pd-0.36-2.irix.tar.gz

I have also uploaded the sources for tcl/tk 8.4.0 (I cannot compile 
8.4.4 on Irix(!)).
