There has been talk in the past about making a Fink package for Mac OS X. I think the time is ripe to make one. Tigital has also been talking about making an X11 version for Mac OS X, and I think it makes perfect sense to combine these two efforts.
The Pd-extended build system is generalized enough that it should be relatively straightforward to do this. The biggest thing to do would probably be making X11 a build option for Pd on Mac OS X, probably using a ./configure flag (--disable-aqua?)
Any interest out there still? I don't have any time to do this myself, but I will be happy to assist anyone who wants to learn the ins and outs of the Pd-extended build system as it is now.
