Greetings,
Right. I'm going a bit off what the community suggests here. There are two ways to do it, and I am using the wrong one at the moment(!). The 'proper' way to do it is to make an installer (.dmg file). I don't yet know how to do that, but what I did was to put all the externals I wanted in the Pd-0.39-1.app/Contents/Resources/extra folder, and then edit the org.puredata.pd.plist file with -lib zexy -lib iemlib2 etc etc. Then I put the whole thing
- my patch, the Pd-0.39-1.app folder, the
org.puredata.pd.plist file and a README file containing instructions on where to put the org.puredata.pd.plist file - /Library/Preferences in one folder. I zipped it up and gave it to my boss - who then found bugs in my patch (whoops again).
However, Frank's idea about a script should work if you install pd with a .dmg installer. You can make scripts for loading different libraries with the line pd -lib /path/to/lib1.pd_darwin -lib /path/to/lib2.pd_darwin etc.
then, chmod 755 myscript.sh
Note that my boss is not PD literate, so this had to be _easy_
alternatively you could edit the Pd.command file in Applications and use that to launch PD. I did that for a while...
Best, Ed

dear Ed & list
.dmg sound proper but I've no idea where to start looking howto do that. however I tried to make a netpd-package for os x all included convenient for (doubleclick) users :-) "all" included == basic-netpd-patches & necessary libs. (no additional patches)
there is a netPd.command to start the app and set -path -lib -helpfile -open . It only works if you put netPd-0.39-1.app it into /Applications because I had to set absolute path. is there a better way? relative path on osx?
actually I couldn't try it on a other os x so I don't know if it works. permission problems might be possible.
netpd-package-2005-11-08.mac.tgz
there are usually people in netpd afternoons/evenings (european time). any comments welcome . thanks

Make a disk image by opening "Disk Utility".app which is in /Applications/Utilities.
Then select from the "Images..." menu "Create New Image from Folder..." it will present a panel similar to [openpanel] which you will select a folder to convert into a disk image.
One thing that works also after this is to use bzip2 to compress the disk image. I have gotten a 9.8 MB disk image down to 264 Kb using this technique. An example command line (after you have the disk image) could be
$ bzip2 yourDiskImage.dmg

great worked fine ! thanks . although I got the same file size dmg.bz2 as tgz . is there any other advantage of a dmg ? ed mentioned something about :
The 'proper' way to do it is to make an installer (.dmg file).
what does installer mean in this case ? can I run a shell script? i.e I'd like to make a link ln -s to netPd-0.39-1.app/Contents/netpd/ or may have to set permission for that directory (and some others)
regards eni

An easier way is to use the mkdmg script which is in CVS:
packages/darwin_app/mkdmg
To use it, put everything in a folder, name the folder whatever you
want the .dmg to be called, then:
./mkdmg folder_name
That's it, it does the rest for you, including make a compressed image,
so no bzip2 necessary.
