In Max/MSP you can save (compile) your patches into various plug-ins or applications. I was wondering can this be done in Pd (which is what I use at home) If it can , could someone let me know please, it would be MUCH!!! appreciated
it cannot be done. why should it? (the reason for max/msp to offer this possibility is in its proprietary nature. for pd this is not necessary: just give away your patches + pd)
The problem is that just giving away a working pd that will continue to work on the target computer is not always easy.
Does Pd have any "static-linked" version or otherwise self-contained? If externals have dependencies, is there anything that can copy those dependencies inside of a directory that can easily by zipped and shipped?
It doesn't have much to do with proprietary vs free.
