hi
thanks that worked
at the start of the process, i consciously changed the DLEXT to dylib thinking that would be the better solution for OS X. turns out that the bundle is what it needed and now it works.. if only i knew how to use the software now lol
./d5

i tried everything - upon making gridflow i was left with gridflow.dylib and gridflow.pd_darwin and i tried doing ln -s gridflow.dylib gridflow.so and put it in all the pd directories and the directories in PATH but no joy
That has to do with the throwing away of mkmf.rb, a makefile generator which is basically unusable. At the same time I had to throw away the OSX stuff because it had to be rewritten anyway and I didn't know how to rewrite it.
also, i think gridflow.so is a linux convention as i use gridflow on linux regularly is there someplace in the ruby sources to change the require statement to the correct extension?
edit "gridflow/Makefile". Add a line like "DLEXT = bundle" or something.
an additional note is that i'm trying all this with the Hans Christoph-Steiner Pd.app distribution - is this even possible or does it only work if you build Pd from source?
I wouldn't see why this would make a difference.
