A Fink package of Pd-extended would be quite nice. Tigital has been talking about it because it would be faster and the GUI will use less CPU.
The C code will probably be easy to get going, but there is going to be some added checks on the Tcl/Tk side of things (pd/src/u_main.tk aka pd.tk). Basically, the GUI only checks the OS not the Windowing engine. So you'll have to add checks to pd/src/u_main.tk. In an installed app its known as bin/pd.tk, but its the exact same file.
This is the command you'll need: tk windowingsystem
which returns one of
aqua win32 x11
tk::mac::useCGDrawing is a Tk/Aqua-only command, so that might be the only change needed.

Hello,
New to the list. I read in the archives a thread about making a Fink package for pd. I would personally like that, and I could possibly help.
In the mean time, I'm trying to compile pd for Tcl/Tk for X11, the one installed through Fink. I changed a few lines i s_inter.c so that it finds wish, but it still assumes I have the Aqua version of Tcl/Tk installed and complains about tk::mac::useCGDrawing is missing (run time
- compiling works fine). Any help would be appreciated.
