The pdgtk demo compiled ok on macOS 14.5 with the following Homebrew packages installed: tcl-tk gtk4
I am not able to run it though, pdgtk is complaining about a missing port on invocation:
danomatika@danomatika pdgtk % pd -guicmd `pwd`/pdgtk -nrt -stderr z.pd usage: /Users/danomatika/Downloads/pdgtk/pdgtk <port> ^CPd: signal 2 gui socket 0 - closing audio... closing MIDI... ... done.

Well, I made a stab at doing the same thing with GTK4 - you can grab it here: http://msp.ucsd.edu/tmp/2024.09.28-pdgtk.tgz . It's about 1200 lines of code and does only a coupe of very basic things, but it allows us to guess what it would entail to do the whole job. Of the 325 calls to pdgui_v[a]mess in the PD source, it takes care of about 10 I think.

You need the very latest pd in git... I had to fix the guicmd flag.

Ok, it works. Not 100%, for instance the key inputs seem to be repeated but basic mode changing, movement, redraw, and object edit function.

Anyway it's mostly there to investigate what it would be if it were filled out.
