yeah this is very articulate writeup of the process though i think the missing element is a specific git example which, i assume, should be the preferred method since the method documented results in a broken Wish.app.

It shouldn't be the preferred method as, in general, we'd want to stick to tested release versions. It's really only our bad luck that, right now, the latest release versions crash on 10.12. As the vast majority of Pd users will not be building Wish themselves, I think we can safely wait for the next Tk release. Those that do run into problems can then try the git versions, as now suggested.

So something like:

$ mac/osx-app.sh --wish Wish-8.6.6-git.app 0.48.0-test1

or where you have it right in the helpfile with:

$ tcltk-wish.sh --git master-git

so maybe just the git instruction is necessary?

How's this: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/107/files

Also, I updated the Wiki page to point to the relevant source docs: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/wiki/Building-Pd-%26-the-various-WIP-branches
