Compilation Instructions

Easiest way is the command line, there is an Xcode project but the command line is easier and installs everything neatly into /usr/local

Depending you might want to install PD, Max or both.

1. PD (You need PD installed)

• Run: sudo bash build.sh pd gcc

• This creates a file ./buildsys/config-mac-pd-gcc.txt now edit this file and add the appropriate PD location, in my case it's:- "/Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources"

• Run the script again to build it (you may need to run it twice to pick up the changes): sudo bash build.sh pd gcc

• Hopefully it will compile correctly with no errors, now install it sudo bash build.sh pd gcc install

2. Max (You need the Max SDK MAX5!!!!! (Still works with Max6)

• Download the Max SDK and copy the following frameworks to system locations as follows "MaxAPI.framework" -> /Library/Frameworks "MaxAudioAPI.framework" -> /Library/Frameworks

• Run: sudo bash build.sh max gcc

• This creates a file ./buildsys/config-mac-max-gcc.txt now edit this file and add the appropriate Max SDK location, in my case it's:- MAXSDKPATH=/Users/carthach/Dev/git/max6-sdk/c74support

• Run the script again to build it (you may need to run it twice to pick up the changes): sudo bash build.sh max gcc

• Hopefully it will compile correctly with no errors, now install it sudo bash build.sh max gcc install
