I understand that.  But still, managing source builds is a lot of

don't want to have to build it even once.  Right now, I can install

command:  "fink install ..." or "apt-get install ..." or "yum

Someone could provide prebuilt FTGL andf freetype libs for OSX and Windows.

I think that checking binaries into CVS would be a really bad idea. It will cause more problems than its worth since there are many platforms, like G3, G4, G4, Intel Mac. There is already a lot of support built into the Pd-extended build system to do CPU-specific compiles. If this code is done, then automatically building it should not be hard.

What are you doing for the Intel builds on the Mac?

Nothing, I have no access to an Intel Mac. Any volunteers?
