This directory is for files that are used in the creation of MacOS X installer .pkgs and .dmgs. In order to use this to compile Pd and externals, you need to have sudo/admin access and this directory structure: +-| +-abstractions | +-darwin-pkg | +-doc-| | +-additional | +-pddp | +-tutorials | +-externals-| | +-... | +-ext13 | +-ggee | +-maxlib | +-unauthorized | +-zexy | +-... | +-pd-| +-src +-doc +-etc... The recommended way to do this is: mkdir pure-data && cd pure-data setenv CVSROOT :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data tar xzf pd-0.37.tar.gz (or cvs checkout -r devel_0_37 pd ) ln -s pd-0.37.0 pd cvs checkout darwin-pkg cvs checkout doc cvs checkout externals cd darwin-pkg make clean && make You'll need to have a compiled version of Pd installed into /usr/local/bin/pd that is the same minor version as the one you are compiling into the package (e.g. 0.36-*, 0.37-*, etc). This is necessary for this linker flag: -bundle_loader /usr/local/bin/pd This should probably be changed to be a relative path so that you can use the pd version that you are compiling to link with. - Hans-Christoph Steiner
