Hi all,
I'm trying to compile a custom pd on Mac OSX (Tiger 10.4.7). The compile went o.k., but trying to launch pd from an X11 Terminal opens the pd main window but trying to bring it to the foreground gives the following error:
root# /usr/local/bin/pd SetFrontProcess failed,-606
TclTk is the Aqua Version 8.4.10, pd-0.39-2, the current tgz sources.

Hi Orm, this looks very much as a clash of tcl/tk versions, i also experienced. I don't know how you built your binary exactly (dropped pd into a tcl/tk standalone, or do you have tcl/tk in /Library/Frameworks?), but this usually happens when a newer wish app (e.g. 8.4.10) wants to use the tcl/tk frameworks in /System/Library/Frameworks (8.4.3 or something) greetings, Thomas

Pd doesn't build on OSX without either Miller's scripts or the Pd- extended build stuff. You can get the Pd-extended stuff from CVS:
cd pure-data/packages/darwin_app make darwin_app_core
Or download a nightly build:

Hi Hans-Christoph,
thanks for the hints. Everything works now after some adjustments. Maybe you can add that to the documentation (or change the make script that it autocopies the bin directory into the build directory).
Before issuing "make darwin_app_core":
- in the directory "<path-to-cvs>/packages/darwin_app/../../" rename the existing pd directory and create a symlink named "pd" to the pd source directory you want to compile:
mv ../../pd{,-orig} ln -s <path-of-pd-main-dir> ../../pd
- Make the application:
make darwin_app_core
- Copy the "bin" directory of the pd source directory into the build directory:
cp -R <path-of-pd-main-dir>/bin build/<name-of-Pd-darwin-program>/Contents/Resources/
(Make sure to omit a trailing slash after the "bin"!)

This all works properly when you use the standard source layout:

If it didn't none of the Pd-extended builds would be working on Mac
OS X ;)
