Extern works on Intel, not on PPC Runtime
Regarding the crash report – I was getting something pretty similar building a standlone on PPC using externals that were NOT in the C74 folder … the build process reported copying the external into the collective, but actually wasn’t, or was mangling it in the process. Any help?
Max/MSP-folks –
This seems possibly related to another question I planned to ask:
The externals I’ve hacked generally perform a bundle-load of some kind,
and I’m now in the process of thinking about UB versions of them. The
loading technique I had been using revolves around using
CFBundleLoadExecutable() and finding the appropriate entry-points. I had
a student running [rtcmix~] under UB 4.6 which seemed to be finding
strange entry-points (like the ‘bang’-handler caused another specific
message-handler to be invoked, weird…), and I’m wondering if the
Xcode/mach-o versions of these should be done using NSLinkModule()instead?
How compatible/uncompatible is this with the Future of Max/MSP? Could
Peter’s woes be attributable to some purgatory of dynamic loading we are
presently inhabiting?

I’m not sure if my experience applies to Brad’s and John’s problem,
but just to let you know:
David took the time to look at my object and noticed that "Show
Package Contents" appeared to give an empty folder. It transpired
that the Bundle’s Contents/ folder had its Invisible bit set. This
seems to cause problems on some processor/OS combinations.
This is probably not what’s plaguing other people, but it is a point
worth checking. It can be corrected with the SetFile command
(assuming you have Apple’s Developer Tools installed).

I reported the collective problem already, it seems there is some
conceptual problem of how collectives have to look like (which might not
affect standalones, as the come with a complete set of externals and are
bound to a certain Platform).
What a mess. You would need to include three sorts of externals to make
it run, or would need to have three different collectives…
Maybe C74 is already working on a solution… But thats tricky…
