on the command line this is essentially the same on linux and osx. one 
terminal window should be enough for the task of compiling and even 
also starting pd. but of course it is a matter of getting used to the 
mac.

this should read /Applications/Pd.../Contents/Resources/extra if you 
want to install using "make install". i usually just copy the 
.pdp_darwin file by hand.

> PDEXECUTABLE = /usr/local/pd/bin/pd
> # or ../../../pd/bin/pd

this should be /Applications/Pd.../Contents/Resources/bin/pd


> MACOSXINCLUDE = -I. -I.. -I../include

And this line should be appended with 
-I/Applications/Pd.../Contents/Resources/src


of course the Pd... in the above paths means Pd-0.38-0test4-HCS.app

then it should work.
