I'm just finished to write a simple Flac reader for MaxMSP.

However, I'm still not able to include a library ( libFLAC.8.0.1.dylib ) into it.

So I need to install the whole flac dmg library into any computer that wants to use my external...

Dear all,
I'm just finished to write a simple Flac reader for MaxMSP.

However, I'm still not able to include a library ( libFLAC.8.0.1.dylib ) into it.
So I need to install the whole flac dmg library into any computer that wants to use my external...

On OSX, you can put it in the conents/resources folder of the external

as long as you make it so your external can load the dylib from there

using otool or other methods. On Windows (which I don't know as much

about), I believe you'll have to put the dll in Max46/support.

I already tried to put libraries into Contents/Resources and fix paths using otool and install_name_tool. However, it doesn't want to work.

I'm beginning to think that Max copies the external in a place like "/tmp" or something before loading it.. but I'm not sure..

Thank you Wes for attention.

I'll take time to check it more deeply
Thanks again

I usually put libraries in the same folder as my externals and use 

relative link to them. Not as elegant as putting them inside the bundle

I usually put libraries in the same folder as my externals and use 
relative link to them. Not as elegant as putting them inside the bundle 
but it seems to work fine.

How to include a library into externals?
