How about importing a stable version of GridFlow into the pure-data
CVS? Then we can include GridFlow as part of the Pd.app build
system. Its quite simple, once its in CVS, you make a gridflow
target that does everything needed to compile gridflow. Then copy
the files to the Pd.app, then it'll be part of all future Pd.app
builds....this is one of those edge issues we talked about last week: in
order for gridflow to compile and work in a drag and drop fashion,
we'd have to include either an installer for Ruby, or an install of
ruby inside the app, somewhat similar to the way tcl/tk frameworks are
included...however, to my knowledge, a ruby.framework isn't available
yet...
What's wrong with the ruby that's included with Mac OS X?
A Ruby.framework is available here:
http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyfrmwk/
At the very least, if a pre-compiled version of gridflow was included
in the Pd.app, all the user would have to do is install Ruby.
