Standalone WIN MAC 32bit 64bit?
Using Max 7 to compile a standalone for Windows creates a 32 bit app shown in the task manager. On Mac the standalone is 64 and 32 bit but by default run in 32 bit mode. Is there a way to force 32 bit standalone only on Mac ?
I would like to not include any 64 bit components is this possible?

if I remember correctly, there was a command line program called 'ditto' that could remove unneeded architectures from a package. Might be worth checking to see if it is still there.
Thanks it seems that during the copy process "arch i386" command will alter standalone to 32 bit architecture. Also it seems that the command line lipo can strip out the 64 bit architecture content to slim down files size. I am gonna try this method and see if I can decrease my Mac standalone file size.
I don't know yet if this will cause instability or limit Max Standalone in any way other than no 64 bit support. Does anybody know if this may have an effect on MaxMsp midi only? Not using jitter or audio. Thanks for the help.
I will see if I can get it going and find exact method for Max app.
After a quick go on the terminal with this "ditto --arch i386 /Users/MacDude/Documents/MyApp.app /Users/MacDude/Documents/MyAppi386.app" is was able to strip out 64 bit and shrink file size by almost 60mb.
I had to rename MyAppi386.app back to MyApp.app to match the mxf and properly run.
No Max console errors and no noticeable difference in midi processing and MaxMsp objects. Haven't explored all features to confirm working but it seems fine. THx DHJDHJ
I have been experiencing some issues with the latest 64 bit release. Using the "round" Object with float and "+" object for instance float num -7. "+" float number -5 should be -12 however I get 429912485 which is odd if I run the "round" object through a "float num" or "num" problem goes away and I get - 12. I checked with message box can't figure out why the "+" and "round object" aren't playing nice on 64 bit windows. I think it may be best for me to just use 32 bit version for now.
