I thought I saw someone had figured out how to fix the wierd problem with newer-than-8.4.4 versions of Tcl/Tk on OSX (you click on the app and Tcl/Tk dies with an error, whereas running Pd.app/Contents/ Resources/bin/pd works fine...)
But madly searching through the list archives I can't find it... am I dreaming?
...this sounds kinda familiar, but I can say that over the last few days (on OSX 10.4.1) I've not had any problems with tcl/tk 8.4.9.1 compiling and running the cvs head of pd (devel included)...the latest version is 8.4.10, but that introduces a change
Also, James found out that dynamic loading is now best done using dlopen() etc.. unlsee there's something wrong with that I'll stick it in.
...outside of the initial work I did on this, I haven't revisited it...there really doesn't seem to be a problem if externals are built in two_level_namespace (ie. NOT flat_namespace), but I haven't tried this out with all externals in cvs...I'll keep ya posted as I try things out...in any event, like the patch says, dlopen is the preferred way for sometime on osx, and we didn't know... :-\
