Yes....
On my todo list I have the task of:
#1. Take a look at Thomas F.O.'s installer and see why he wants it "that" way.
#2. Try Hans's RC's for 38 and 39
#3. Make pixelTANGO work in Hans's
#4. See if any ideas from Thomas's installer are worth integrating
#5. Do a prototype of the patch searching/indexing system.
#6. Release it all as a prototype of the future SINGLE STANDARD .app for OSX. :)
I mean ".app" here and not "installer" per-se.
How can we make PD consistant on other platforms? Easy enough in windows to make something similar to the .app. On linux how could this be done? One option (ugly) I see is to create a mirror of the .app idea for linux, with a similar tree. This is standalone, no packages, no dependancies, everything included.. (sounds ugly) and some cute method for putting it in the gnome/kde menu... For the user this could be great, all you do is untar and go, like firefox on linux. I guess the same thing could happen with packages?
Anyone working on a linux versions of the OSX and windows package building scripts in CVS?

I used Millers version in a workshop and it worked perfectly. This makes me think that probably it would be better to have only one installer for pd, and an additional one for the externals. This would avoid lots of confusion about which installer to use.

Hello, smello,
I am trying to help a friend by phone to install PD on her mac but I am unfimilar with OsX. I directed her to: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html and she dragged the dmg to the desktop and nothing happened so she clicked on it and there was no .app file. She dragged the pd-0.39test2-extended-rc0 file (no .app file extension) into the applications folder on her HD. When she did this and doubble clicked on it it launched, the menubar at the top of the screen indicated that pd was open(ing) but when she moused over the menu->file dropdown it would give her the osX spinning colorwheel thinking icon. She had to force PD to quit as regular quit would not respond. I tried to direct her to where the logfiles would be in linux-land but there was no /var/log/messages.
Q1: Where are the osX system logfiles kept? Q2: How do we get PD installed on osX?
Thanks y'all! -thewade
