Greetings,
Right. I'm going a bit off what the community suggests here. There are two ways to do it, and I am using the wrong one at the moment(!). The 'proper' way to do it is to make an installer (.dmg file). I don't yet know how to do that, but what I did was to put all the externals I wanted in the Pd-0.39-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra folder, and then edit the org.puredata.pd.plist file with -lib zexy -lib iemlib2 etc etc. Then I put the whole thing
- my patch, the Pd-0.39-1.app folder, the
org.puredata.pd.plist file and a README file containing instructions on where to put the org.puredata.pd.plist file - /Library/Preferences in one folder. I zipped it up and gave it to my boss - who then found bugs in my patch (whoops again).
However, Frank's idea about a script should work if you install pd with a .dmg installer. You can make scripts for loading different libraries with the line pd -lib /path/to/lib1.pd_darwin -lib /path/to/lib2.pd_darwin etc.
then, chmod 755 myscript.sh
Note that my boss is not PD literate, so this had to be _easy_
alternatively you could edit the Pd.command file in Applications and use that to launch PD. I did that for a while...
Best, Ed

Hi all,
I've developed an application for PD and I want to
be
able to package the whole thing as an installer,
so
that non-PD people (like my boss) can try out the patch straight out of the box. The only problem I have is that the .pdrc file
seems
not to have any effect on pd 0.39 in osx, i.e. the libraries are not loaded at startup. Is there
another
way to include the information on which libraries
to
load etc as a file, so that paths are configured
by
default? We all have os 10.3.9 here, so Hans' installer doesn't work, and I have custom
externals
(which I will release to cvs soon ;-)
Best, Ed
