i would like to use kiosk-plugin with Pd-0.48 on a mac-ppc (OSX 10.5.8).
however, kiosk-plugin needs tcl 8.5 and the Pd-0.48-1.ppc uses Tcl 8.4.
i was looking for info about tcl 8.5 and a mac-ppc, but it appeared to me like i had to enter a whole new jungle of terms, versions, websites, libraries etc.
hopefully someone here is willing to give me a hint:
-how to get Tcl 8.5 for a mac-ppc
-should it then be necessary/possible to compile Pd with this Tcl 8.5
(other then the kiosk-plugin, everything works with my patches on mac-ppc as well as Windows 10).
thanks in advance, rolf
I don't know the specifics but you could use the ox-app.sh script in the mac directory of the the source tree after building pd. e.g. osx-app.sh --tk 8.5.19 as the help option -h shows. (so just cd to the /mac directory and run the script)

the good thing is, you don't need to compile Pd with Tcl/Tk *at all*. Wish (the Tcl/Tk interpreter), is a standalone program that is started by Pd and interprets Pd's tcl/tk commands. you should be able to replace the embedded Wish implementation by a newer version.
-how to get Tcl 8.5 for a mac-ppc
i have no clue. not even, whether there are binaries available at all.
btw, you could also consider installing Debian on your ppc to get newer software.
(other then the kiosk-plugin, everything works with my patches on mac-ppc as well as Windows 10).
i don't remember the details, but maybe kiosk-plugin doesn't *really*
require tcl/tk 8.5 (and just assumes it does).
you could try removing the version from kiosk-plugin.tcl:9 (so it only
reads package require Tcl), and see whether it bites back.
