[PD] compiling externals on snow leopard

Oops, I accidentally just sent my last post to Hans.  Please read this and
the post below...

I have been slowly figuring out the last problem, where gcc can't find my
headers in /usr/include.  It is because the configure line:

if test "x$fat" == "xyes";
    then
        MORECFLAGS="-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk \
            -arch i386 -arch ppc -Wno-error"

First, I don't know why this is necessary, but I'm sure somebody does.  I
also don't know why OS X 10.6 is being detected as fat anything.

I can install the MacOSX10.4u.sdk from the Xcode disk, but then gcc can't
find a good stdarg.h, as the one include within that sdk has a #include_next
stdarg.h directive.  Then, with this -sysroot flag, gcc doesn't search any
other directory and none of the 20 other stdarg.h files on my computer are
found.  I remove this flag and the header files are found elsewhere just
fine.

I compiled Portaudio from svn as universal binary with 64bit.  But, this
library doesn't work with Pd's portaudio source files and the new sources
don't work with Pd's sources.  So, I can't get past building the portaudio
objects.  I tried just using jack with "./configure --enable-jack
--disable-portaudio", but the build script still tries to build portaudio
and fails.

This is all with pd vanilla from Miller's website.  I'm also trying to build
the Pd extended sources, but I suppose I should start a new thread for the
problem I hit there..
