[PD] pd compilation problem

[James Tittle II]

hey,

...this is a longstanding problem with the configure script on OSX:  
all versions of osx come with libtcl8.3, but not libtk...(also, the 
configure script includes lots of x11 stuff, which isn't necessary for 
aqua)

...however, the configure script & make also include and link to 
frameworks for tcl and tk (assuming they are installed in 
/Library/Frameworks), and frameworks take precedence over the libs, so 
the sum result is ok (just don't think about it too much)...

...otoh, you can link against the tcl/tk in fink, but then you are 
building an x11 version of pd...this works well, but there are many 
other things to change beyond just the makefile...if interested, search 
the pd-list archives for "x11 osx", as this has been discussed 
before...

l8r,
jamie
