boost libs

Hello max guys,

After some research, I wonder if someone tried to use the C++ boost libraries in a Cpp external (I use the Graham Wakefield Template).

I am a total Cpp noob, but as seen with Cinder lib, I think it would be wonderful and more portable to use these awersome libs in externals.

hey
i was asking a kind of similar thing in a previous post. I assume that importing boost or poco(from OFW) is possible, the question is how to translate the blocks(that's how they are called in Cinder) into jitter matrices. Shared pointers in boost are just a charm!

Heh, right. Thx to boost, I can do C++ now. I plan to use it mainly for networking and threading stuff inside max.

the other question is how to convert STL containers into data that can be displayed using the matrix model. I will be working on that the coming weeks, see if i can find a solution, too many questions!!!
