generally i very much like the idea of Pd-core not depending on any 3rd party framework (whether that would be TclTk, Qt, GTK, JUCE or whatever) directly. (so I do not have to install half the whole world OR re-compile if I want transfer a Pd binary to a headless system)
We'd just need a configure option that allows to build Pd without the GUI. That's also what SuperCollider does: there's an option for building sclang without Qt (e.g. for headless systems).
It's just like building Pd with our without JACK, for example.
right. it's just like that. i have been lobbying to make the audio backends a runtime selection years ago.
? All I wanted to say is that users can decide to build Pd without JACK support, i.e. Pd does not *depend* on JACK. We can do the same with the GUI.
