i'm usually only build my plugs for OSX, but since i've now got a macbook intel, i might aswell compile for windows too... so far only one problem,- how do i include tap.tools lib ??

tap-tools-include-on-windows

If I remember right, theres a different file for osX, check the electrotap website or read the readme including with the tap.tools distrobution. It should say something the differences between the two platforms and what the librarys name is and such.

In Tap.Tools 2.2 or later, this library is a .framework file located 

inside of the Max application bundle itself. To find it, you can 

ctrl-click on the Max application itself and choose “Show Package 

Contents”. Then inside of the Contents folder there will be a Frameworks 

folder. Copy the Tap.Tools framework from this folder into the following 

On Windows the library is a .dll file located in the ‘support’ folder 

that is inside of the Max folder. You will need to copy TapTools2.dll 

from this support folder to the following location

C:Program FilesCommon FilesC74 Plug-in Supportsupport
