What does maxxslt.mxe64 contain? Is it essential for running a Standalone?
The various updates to Max over the last couple of years have added lots of features but has also caused Standalone files to grow rather a lot due to the inclusion of new externals and resources.
I'm trying to work out what I can exclude from my Standalone build resource folder before encapsulating it with VirtualBox whilst maintaining the functionality I need.
Second to maxclang.mxe64, maxxslt.mxe64 is the next largest file in the resources/extensions/max folder. Can I get rid of it?
I'm not sure, but xslt does transformations of xml files. Max uses xml for reference files which you don't need in a standalone. So it may well be that you can get rid of it. Just try
I did indeed delete it and so far there has been no problem.
I just don’t understand why all these files get put in the Standalone resource folder for every build when they are not needed! It just wastes space and balloons the size of the Standalone.
