---->side note to HC: is X11 a prerequisite for GEM on OSX Pd
Extended now? I saw some people at my last workshop had some missing
libs with newer Pd Extended installers...Nothing in the GEM code relies on X11, but I think the extended
build is using it for freetype and/or FTGL. Those can be statically
built into the binary like we have done for GEM releases on OSX in
the past.
Gem gets linked against Apple's freetype, which is part of the X11
package, so that's where the requirement comes from. It would be
possible to make Gem use the Fink freetype. Mac OS X 10.5 now comes
with X11 installed, so this issue only applies to 10.4. There is a
decent FAQ entry on how to install X11 for people with 10.4:
