I don't know if we have any Macintosh hackers out there, but Paul Ossenbruggen has a very, very, very alpha version of Pd running on the Mac OS. It is slow as pond water, lots of features are missing, etc. but you can add two numbers together :-)

I suggested to the folks at LinuxPPC that they include it in their upcoming version 5 release CD. (Which will be more or less compliant with RedHat 5.1 and glibc libraries etc.) If people haven't checked it out - it is very nice, boots into KDE, and really cooks on a G3. Check it out at < www.linuxppc.org >.

I am interested in trying to compile pd and gem for LinuxPPC maybe next year - no time right now.

I know that Paul hasn't had any time to work on it lately, so if anyone wants to give it a shot, let me know. I'll hook you up with Paul and the source code. Obviously, Pd/GEM should be much easier on Carbon/OS X, so you might just want to skip 8.5...

I have to agree on that one. I would love to see a port to OS X Server and would be willing to lend a hand in any little ways I could. If the SoundKit and MusicKit have survived from Next, that would make the whole affair even easier still....
