cant build standalone - app crashes on launch
Jun 13 2012 | 1:08 pm
Hello
I cant seem to build a standalone patch from this basic test patch. Having looked through the reference files and documentation on building standalones, I've tried a back to basics approach - and am trying to build up from the simplest elements. I am working on a MacBookPro on Lion, with Max 6.0.4.
Every time I go to launch the app that I have built, it crashes and I get this report:
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000412f736e

-->

Here is the patch that I am attempting to build into a standalone - to test what's going wrong:
And here is the the build script that I am using:
open thispatcher
open "Macintosh HD:/Users/georgepoonkhinkhut/Desktop/basic.maxpat"
I have included a standalone object in the patch, and checked its properties in Inspector, pretty ordinary.
If anyone at C74 could test this for me - perhaps I have an issue with my computer?
I HAVE built standalones before - but its always been touch and go - now I am trying to understand what makes them work or not.
Attached is the crash report in text form.
Thanks

I removed Max, then booted into the Lion Recovery HD - did a Repair Permissions, Repair Drive (just in case - as I've had a lot of issues with permissions lately), then reinstalled Max6, Then I tried building the standalone of my very complex patch - and it worked straight off! Brilliant!Here's Tom's instructions for de-installing Max, so you can do a clean install:To clean out Max 6 entirely, remove these items:1. ~/Library/Application Support/Cycling '74 2. /Applications/Max6In Mac OS 10.7, the Application Support/Cycling '74 folder is hidden. You can find it using the 'Go' Menu in the Finder. From there, choose 'Go To Folder...' and enter:~/Library/Application Supportthen navigate to the Cycling '74 folder and delete it.All the bestGeorge
