I use the "official" JACK distribution installer from <> and *not* JACK via Homebrew. I believe I've mentioned this in one or two of the "JACK doesn't work" threads on Github. My testing back then indicated that linking to JACK from Homebrew would result in the usual dylib missing errors when running on other systems and didn't result in a weaklink. Maybe this is something that works in newer versions or requires some Homebrew install flag?
so I think what I'm doing now is waiting for Iohannes's CI build to solve _two_ problems, the not-running-on-Sierra and the weak-linking-to-jack-broken. (Sorry Iohannes)...
Meanwhile I think I can make myself useful doing these:
Dan's PR to get MIDI working in libpd naming the released files coherently upgrading the "macosx7" (sometimes typoed as "macos7", ouch) version to incorporate Tcl/Tk 8.6.12
