[PD] compiling externals on snow leopard

Thu Nov 12 02:21:38 CET 2009

Got it compiled and it looks nice.  The portaudio failed, same as
Pd-Vanilla, but I guess you aren't worried about that because you are
working on getting coreaudio support (which would be nice).  Jack works,
everything is sounds nice and stable.

The only thing I noticed is that expr cannot be found.  I have only tried a
few of the example patches so far.

cheers,
Rich
