hi
different pd versions: actually i wonder how pd/linux deals with this
problem. does msp version look into other paths as devel? are they
configured at runtime? i thougth about an additional standard path in
osx determined at compile time from the version information (like "~/
Library/Application Support/Pd/0.39-msp/extra" + "~/Library/
Application Support/Pd/0.39-msp/doc").
fink: i think it would be easy to just pack debians and throw it into
fink. for advanced users (with several pd versions/flavours) this
would be fine. however the advantage of the pd.app is that pd files
get double-clickable on desktop and messing around with the command
line will not be nessesary. i think for most osx users it would be
comfortable to just link the externals statically with the requred
libraries.
flext: i don't know if this is possible and i'm not sure if this
makes sense: how about just linking flext statically into pd binary?
if i have to compile flext for each pd version/flavour anyway i don't
see a drawback to just include it (appart from eventual stability
issues).

Hallo, Lorenz Schori hat gesagt: // Lorenz Schori wrote:
it is certainly not the goal to make things more complicated nor to include less stuff. what i propose is just to move the externals out of the package into a more accessible, managable and natural (for osx users) place, plus to modularize externals a bit (standard/gem/pdp/ flext/...). this way it will be easier to upgrade pd and different external packages independantly from each other.
But is there a way to handle dependencies as cleanly as e.g. Debian does it? For example you would need different flext packages for pd-devel and ps-MSP, IIRC. Some externals which use private headers may need to be recompiled for a a new upstream version. With a single package it is easy for Mac users to get matching versions of everything.
I guess it would be the best to get in contact with the Fink team and provide regular Fink packages of Pd and Pd externals?
