I don't know the specifics but you could use the ox-app.sh script in the mac directory of the the source tree after building pd. e.g. osx-app.sh --tk 8.5.19 as the help option -h shows. (so just cd to the /mac directory and run the script)
great hint. very clear explanation what should be possible. however, it didn't work because of problems with SSL certificates, for which i don't have a solution. (the output is at the end of this mail)
@IOhannes
-should it then be necessary/possible to compile Pd with this Tcl 8.5
the good thing is, you don't need to compile Pd with Tcl/Tk *at all*. Wish (the Tcl/Tk interpreter), is a standalone program that is started by Pd and interprets Pd's tcl/tk commands. you should be able to replace the embedded Wish implementation by a newer version.
i had a look at that. the Pd-tree of the 'regular' mac version differs from the ppc one. it has a "frameworks" folder (with Tcl in it) that's not in the ppc one.
furthermore, it's unclear for me what exactly is part of the embedded Wish implementation. i tried replacing the whole tcl folder, to no avail.
btw, you could also consider installing Debian on your ppc to get newer software.
nice try. my cooperation is with other people with old and new macs, for whom Linux is out of the question.
i don't remember the details, but maybe kiosk-plugin doesn't *really* require tcl/tk 8.5 (and just assumes it does). you could try removing the version from kiosk-plugin.tcl:9 (so it only reads
package require Tcl
), and see whether it bites back.
i did that already. it bites back.

curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK.
Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate
verify failed
More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). The default bundle is named curl-ca-bundle.crt; you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option.
(i tried the suggestion of 'curl -insecure' but i needs an URL which i don't know)
