Hello Hans,
I just did a test run with your Pd0.38.4-extended-RC3.app release, I
dont know if it is only related to my computer, but PD crashes each
time when I try to load PDP library. I am running this version under
OSX 10.4.2, G3 PowerBook.
best, Koray.

Finally, I released another Pd-extended, but this one is quite different. Its based on the cross-platform, cross-package build system. Soon, I shall be releasing a Windows and Linux build based on this as well.

Lots of changes, got the first complete(-ish) build with the new extended build system. I left as much of the old functionality in
place as possible, definitely were it was being used. But there are some changes that break backwards compatibility, thought they should be noticed by few, and be easy to fix going forward.Some highlights:
- centralized patch system (packages/patches with targets patch_pd and
unpatch_pd)
- libdir format: basically a libdir is a directory that has both the
objects and the help files together in one folder. It can be added using -lib or the StartUp preferences, or you can access them via geiger namespaces, i.e. [mylibrary/myobject].
- special characters allow in setup function/file names for objects.
This makes objects like [||~] possible without having to be in a library. Now they can be either .pd files or individual .pd_darwin files (thanks IOhannes for the patch).
