[PD] Building Pd for MacOS (was MIDI timing FIFO overflowed receiving sysex)

[Dan Wilcox]

I will write this up in the readme, but here’s an overview. Its basically exactly the same thing you do in Linux except for building the app bundle.

1. You don’t need Xcode, only the command line tools which can be installed by running the following in Terminal:

    xcode-select —install

2. Build Pd using autotools like in Linux:

    cd pure-data
    ./autogen.sh <— you only need to run this if the configure script is not in the distribution (aka cloned from Github)
    ./configure
    make

3. If you want a mac app:

    make app

4. If you want to mess with different versions of Tk, look at the osc-app.sh & tcltk-wish.sh scripts in the “mac” folder.
