Compilling Stand-Alone applications
I’m trying to compile a patch i’ve built in max/msp so other people can play with it regardless of whether or not they own a copy of max/msp server – I want it to be easy to setup and play, preferably no installation required and bootable from a cd
the patch needs a couple of subfolders for images, sounds and movies, when I compile the patch I can include these folders but it doesn’t always work, I think it may work without the subfolders with everything being on the top level of the file hierarchy – but this then looks confusing and it’s not as easy to locate the application itself amongst the files
I have tried a couple of times (with no prior knowledge) and have had sketchy results. I’m using max/msp 5
can anyone give me some fool proof tips?

Hi Aid,
First, check out the standalone object. Get info on it to see what it controls.
As for including extra material in standalone apps, I tend to prefer adding everything after the app has been built.
For Windows:
Dump everything in the support folder of its parent folder
For Mac:
ctrl-click on the app icon –> choose Show Packet Conents –> dump stuff in the Resources or support folder.
best,
Zachary

just posting to say thanks!
I copied all the images/videos/sounds/3rd party objects to the resource folder in the package contents and the standalone application now works fine on both ppc and intel mac :D
