[PD] Re: Error building from latest version in CVS

The -lrt problem was fixed in 0.39 and later, but how do I actually  
get a working version of 0.39 from cvs? Rolled back to 0_38 version  
in CVS yesterday to avoid the errors from cvs HEAD but god knows how  
I did it. Have spent hours and hours trying combinations, so back to  
the list to ask the same question. How do I get a version of the PD  
source which builds on Mac OS X Tiger.

If I execute the checkout-developer-layout.sh shell script from  
http://puredata.org/docs/developer/darwin, cd into packages  
darwin_app and call 'make' it terminates with this error...

install -m0755 -p \
/Volumes/TclTkAquaStandalone-8.4.9/Wish\ Shell.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish 
\ Shell \
"/Users/cefnhoile/Desktop/pd-extended-head/pure-data/packages/ 
darwin_app/build/Pd-char pd_version[] = "Pd version 0.40-0test01 
\n";.char pd_version[] = "Pd version 0.40-0test01\n";.char pd_version 
[] = "Pd version 0.40-0test01\n";-extended-RC6.app/Contents/MacOS"
install: /Users/cefnhoile/Desktop/pd-extended-head/pure-data/packages/ 
darwin_app/build/Pd-char pd_version[] = Pd: Inappropriate file type  
or format
make: *** [darwin_app_wrapper] Error 71

...hence I tried looking for another version. I'm assuming that  
getting the absolute latest version from CVS is just asking for trouble.

All the latest tagged 39 versions I could gather from the sourceforge  
branch tags give me just the pd directory, and none of the package  
build for darwin.

Assume I'm dumb, or at least not telepathic as to the development and  
tagging practices of the pd team. How do I actually get a version of  
0.39 source, out of cvs, out of anywhere else, which is known to  
work? Really not too bothered which version. I just want a version of  
the pd source which will build on Mac OS X Tiger (sobs).

I'm regularly reassured that this is possible, but the guidance  
offered is never quite specific enough for me to achieve it.
