Hi,

I am having problems compiling pd from Miller's website in OS X Snow
Leopard.  Basically, Pd fell behind Apple's updates.  Here are my problems,
fixes where I found them:

- the configure script automatically adds -isysroot blah blah for the 10.4
sdk, which doesn't work.  this line is removed.
- the included portaudio (and more importantly, its coreaudio components)
with pd does not match the coreaudio framework included with Snow Leopard.
There are lots of deprecations and finally undeclared methods.  I tried just
updating the source code from that in portaudio's svn, but this led to
further undefined calls that I don't remember.
- using '-disable-portaudio' doesn't do any good because it is automatically
added if you are on OS X (I wanted to just use jack since portaudio is
outdated).
- I had to remove all '-arch' flags except i386 to get everything linked.

Okay, after that, it compiled. whew. Still, pd's gui will not run because
libPdTcl.dylib either isn't found or is the wrong architecture, I still
can't tell:

$ pd -jack
Error in startup script: dlopen(/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/../bin/libPdTcl.dylib,
10): no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /usr/local/lib/pd/bin/../bin/libPdTcl.dylib: mach-o, but wrong
architecture
    while executing
"load $pd_guidir/bin/libPdTcl.dylib"
    invoked from within
"if {$pd_nt == 2} {
# turn on James Tittle II's fast drawing
    set tk::mac::useCGDrawing 1
# anti-alias all lines that need it
    set tk::mac::CGAnt..."
    (file "/usr/local/lib/pd/bin/pd.tk" line 67)
^CPd: signal 2

It is there, they are all i386 and tcl/tk are universal binaries, so I don't
know.  Anyone else?

Running pd with no gui and jack works.

regards,
Rich
