The 'automake' system, although apparently vital for preparing Pd for
distributions such as Debian, seems to be far too fragile for non-experts
to use effectively.

You can "just make" pd by cding to pd/src and typing:

make -f makefile.gnu clean       # (not needed if a clean source tree)
make -f makefile.gnu JACK=true

The "makefile.gnu" solution is the one I always use.  It's completely
independent of the automake setup.
