Update-- I've got a working Pd-l2ork, tkpath based App running on
OSX.  (No ppc support, unfortunately.)  Audio is running.

Minefields:
* I cannot for the life of me figure out how to build tkpath using the
Tcl/tk Frameworks (Carbon-based) inside Pd-l2ork.app instead of the
system ones. (Tried both Xcode and command line tools).  Anybody
have hints for that?
* I can't figure out how to build the externals in "extra".  If I do
"make" the linker doesn't find any of the m_pd.h functions, even if
I do the ugly hack of copying m_pd.h to the directory.
* I'm abusing my function for returning the executable path in order
to get Pd to look for doc/ and extra/ inside the App (in addition to
the usual places on the system).  Is there a trick to this?
* key presses/releases sometimes get stuck in one state or the other.
I think there's some simple tcl/tk hack for ignoring autokeys that may
remedy this, but I'm not sure yet.

Best,
Jonathan

Hello,
      I'm hoping some MacOSX gurus can help me traverse this mine-field.

What I'm trying to do:
Port Pd-l2ork (quick-and-dirty) to MacOSX in the form of a Pd-l2ork.app

Minefields:
* Pd-l2ork uses tkpath, which is built to work with Carbon and not Cocoa.  So I
must use tcl/tk Framework that uses Carbon instead of Cocoa.  That should be
ok because Pd-extended.app is currently set up to use Carbon.
* Pd-l2ork uses the old pd.tk framework instead of the newer stuff from the 
gui-rewrite

What I've done so far:
* updated the configure file successfully
* made a workaround for statbuf from stat.h not existing on OSX (in s_main.c)
* made a workaround for RTLD not existing after ./configure and trying to make 
(s_loader.c)
* successfully compiled Pd-l2ork
* checked that tkpath actually works on OSX.  It seems to work, using tcl/tk 
w/Carbon
instead of Cocoa.
* used otool and install_name_tool to change libPdTcl.dylib libraries to point 
at the
App's Framework directory instead of system directories
* changed AppMain.tcl to launch pd.tk instead of pd-gui (which it does 
successfully)

What crashes so far:
* inside pd.tk, I'm trying to do this:
     load $pd_guidir/bin/libPdTcl.dylib
It finds the dylib fine but then it crashes, with the crash report referencing 
the first line
of the following function of t_tkcmd.c in the backtrace:

int Pdtcl_Init(Tcl_Interp *interp)
{
     const char *argv = Tcl_GetVar(interp, "argv", 0);

***

Any ideas where to begin to debug this?  Is there some code I can add to
Pdtcl_Init to print out some info I can use to tell where it's going wrong?

I put the full error log here:

Any suggestions appreciated.
