Give me a holler if you want help with the Pd.app build system. What
you need to do is quite straightforward: just make a Makefile target
that executes whatever is necessary to build gridflow. I'd say
externals/gridflow is a good spot for it. We should probably set up an
ACL so that if people want to commit changes to CVS, they'll have to
make a branch (that's the way other imported sources are setup).
Also, you should include whatever libs/frameworks/etc. that
OSX/Debian/etc. doesn't normally provide (for example, if you use that
Ruby.framework). I think that the Apple Developer tools include ruby
dev files now. Or at least my computer has
/usr/lib/ruby/1.6/powerpc-darwin7.0/ruby.h
.hc
