Hi Ed,

Thanks for your report.

I think the pkg-config issue as a bug in pkg-config, or maybe a missing
compilation flag to it. If package descriptions get installed by default
in some location, then pkg-config should look for them in that location
by default. There is not much we could do in aubio to solve it anyway.

Yes, the PD plugin lacks the correct command line to create the external
on OS X. Reading other external Makefiles, it seems the following
command should create aubio.pd_darwin correctly:

  gcc -bundle -undefined suppress -flat_namespace -o aubio.pd_darwin *.o

or:

  gcc -bundle -bundle_loader <path_to_PD> -flat_namespace -o aubio.pd_darwin *.o

I don't have access to a OS X at the moment. Let us know if this works for you!

Thanks, Paul
