I made a Windows installer for my alternate-tuning sequencer, so that folks can just install and then run a batch file to use my program, without having to open Pd separately. The tuning folks seem to like it :) I'm trying to do the same thing for OSX now. I don't want much; I figured I'd just load the externals I'm using into the Extra folder in the Pd-0.39-2.app I already have, and when they open my patch the necessary objects will be found. I actually have pd_darwin files with the names of all the objects themselves, so, if I understand correctly, I should be able to just open the patch and it will search for whatever.pd_darwin in the Extra folder.
But for some reason [active] and [tot] aren't loading right. I get a message saying:
active ... couldn't create link error 0 dyld: /Users/chuckk/Documents/Pd-0.39-2.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/../bin/pd multiple definitions of symbol _hammergui_bindfocus
then two messages referencing the tot.pd_darwin definition of symbol _hammergui_bindfocus and the active.pd_darwin definition of the same thing.
Am I going about this wrong? I looked up OSX shell files online, and it seems they always have to be called from a terminal. I'd sooner explain how to open Pd and load my patch than to explain how to find a terminal window and type in the shell file name.

The quick solution for that is to make a OSX icon that launches Pd in a terminal and give that to your users.

Just append .command to the shell script and set the executable bit and the icon will run the script when double clicked.

What's the executable bit? Thanks. This looks like it might work. -Chuckk

Just use the full path when starting Pd.

Thanks. I want to have a .command file that, when my user double-clicks it, will open Pd with whatever flags I tell it, with everything in a folder that my user can put anywhere.
From what I can tell, there is no way to pass a path to the command
line relative to the folder from which it is called. pwd gives me /Users/student, which only has a symbolic link to the Documents folder, meaning I have to switch to /Users/Shared to run Pd, and I don't know what kind of user names or folders my user will have. "./" goes from the home directory of the current user, not the directory of the .command file.
The Pd command also doesn't respond to my flags from within this .command file, nor will the open command allow me to use any.
(I'm not just bogging down the list, btw, I've been searching high and low for answers to this online.)
Thanks for your help! -Chuckk

hi,
what chris meant with the full path is running the pd executable and
not opening the pd.app application package which is rather an
obfuscated folder. this is what the open command in the shell does.
so type
/Applications/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test4.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd - your -flags -here
instead of
open /Applications/Pd-0.39.2-extended-test4.app
you might need the tcl/tk installed to make that work.

I've been using the executable. I found it on my own before the explanations I got here. Since the commandline won't run the .app anyway, I've been using the executable.
What I'm asking is a) how to set the folder relative to where the commandline is called from, and b) how to send Pd flags to Pd. Simply typing them after the Pd command does not work.

Interesting; would you mind posting the contents of a .command file that works for you to open Pd with flags? Thanks.

OH. lol I was using /what-have-you/Pd-0.39-2.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd Which was what others suggested. Using /Resources/bin/pd does take my flags. Now that part works, thanks! I do get an odd printout in the terminal:
AC-T1212-M13:~ student$ /Users/Shared/Documents/CSHJr/JIsequencershare/JI.command; exit invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" invalid command name ".x1654a20.c" etc etc.
But it runs, so I don't much care.
And my next question is whether it is possible to tell the commandline where the script is coming from. With "sh JI.sh", it knows because I have to already be in that folder to call it; but clicking on "JI.command" in Finder does not pass the path to JI.command to the terminal window it opens.

Nevermind yet again, I found the open command. I still can't get OSX to open Pd with flags, but I'll refrain from asking just yet...

try this:
./Pd
this is because, if there is no slash in the command name, Bash will look at every directory in the colon-separated list called $PATH. Usually, "." isn't in that list, and you have to add it yourself.
In DOS it's the other way around, the shell searches "." no matter whether you like it or not, and you can't change its order of priority.

I can't figure out how to launch Pd from the OSX command line. It's in an .app file, but the name of that file does nothing.

in OSX, a .app is a folder. In the Finder you can Ctrl+Click and do "Show Package Contents". Then inside that there's a folder called "Contents" (don't ask me why there's that extra level...), inside of which there's a folder "MacOS", inside of which there is the file "pd" which is a real OSX executable (in Mach-O format), which you can click on to start "pd" in a terminal. This also allows to start pd several times, unlike clicking on a .app folder.
Similarly you can open a terminal and just do:
Pd.app/Contents/MacOS/pd
I say this from memory, this might be slightly off.
