Dan your autotools update is great. I installed all with no problem. Moreover I done make app; great news!
Some general observation on OS X compilation: I get several warnings, like:
a) libtool: warning: libobj name 'pd~.lo' may not contain shell special characters.
That’s not a problem, just libtool not liking the tilde in the file name.
The rest are just a few warnings in PoartAudio, also not major problems. The real issue with PA is that it still relies
on the deprecated Carbon framework and we ignore those warnings for now.
Thanks. I have a script now which will download and build Tk for you. For some reason, one combination of Tk + Pd (universal maybe) I tried, suddenly made Gem work again. I’ll see if I can find that combo again…
