Csound~ in Max 7

Thanx Volker.
Just did a try ( I tried also to reinstall the Csound64 package)
again errors (even if now the path of library seems changed):

I tried it too and got the same kind of errors. Thank you though for helping! I hope it gets figured out, csound is so amazing.

ok, don't know how much this will be helpful for your concerns, but i just fpound out that the csound file you are using must be in the same folder as your patcher, or else csound~ will completely bonk the file path-in my case it added a period anbd removed 'x' randomly.

As an aside to the responses, you could also (if it solves your problems) make a gui in Max and run csound standalone, using osc or midi messages between them. I did that years ago with PD and it actually worked pretty well.

the error messages that you get, now look exactly the same, as the ones I get, if I move the csound framework out of the way: The csound~ object can't find CsoundLib64.framework at the expected location. But as you said, you have it installed correctly in /Library/framesworks/ I'm cluesless what the error is. Looks like an os problem. you are both on 10.14, right?
@vichug: can't reproduce your problem with the filepath. loading a csd file from a location outside of the current directory works fine here. (make sure to add quotes, if your path contains spaces.)
did you experience this with the version from github or with the version I posted yesterday?

Yes, I'm running OS X 10.14.6

That's a good idea Iain to use OSC! I tried it and it works great! I'd still love to figure out the csound~ object problem, I have some old Max patchers somewhere that I'd like to check out again.

Yeah, for many gui needs, the osc route is plenty fast enough. It also means you can run csound on a linux machine with the process priority jacked up for good latency, if that's an issue. We did that and got really solid performance at dead low latency. Boy do I wish I could do that on OSX with Max to the same degree... :-/

@Volker : i didn't give the complete .csd path to csound~, only the file name, and it was in Max search path but a different folder ; a message error appeared in Max window, the file path was autocompleted but with the mentioned mistakes. Didn't try with a complete path. Your version doesn't work here actually, it complains about a missing sndfile library in /usr/opt or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I played with this a little longer and the good news is, I got it working on a machine running macos 10.14.6.
The main problem here is getting libsndfile to load, when it is not pre-installed already. I.e. there is a version of libsndfile inside the csound framework, but I can't find a way to make the object load the dylib from this path. If you have installed libsndfile separately e.g. through homebrew, csound~ should find it.
Anyway, I think the best way to move forward is to drop the libsndfile dependency completely, as it is only used with the 'loadsamp' message for instructing csound~ to load a soundfile into an ftable.
Here is a version without libsndfile and the 'loadsamp' message disabled (you can still load soundfiles/samples directly from your .csd):

for anybody still interested in this, please try out this version and report back.
please move any other version of csound~ out of max's search path and make sure you have installed csound6, i.e. CsoundLib64.framework exists in /Library/Frameworks.
