FYI, I just enabled the building of [plugin~] on Mac OS X. So it should be included in nightly builds and upcoming test and final releases.
Any chance of getting [dssi~] included in this? It has an additional dependency on the liblo library, but it builds and works fine on both linux and Mac OS (powerpc and intel).
The advantages of [dssi~] over [plugin~] are
- It supports DSSI plugins as well as LADSPA
- It can host multiple plugin instances within a single [dssi~]
instance e.g. [dssi~ sine_faaa 20] for 20 sine oscillators.
It doesn't do VST but other than that the functionality of plugin~
is a subset of the functionality of dssi~.
Sure, if you do the work. I think the issue was that the DSSI code
would have to be maintained in the pure-data CVS, which some people
strongly protested. DSSI isn't in Fink. In order for it to be
supported in the auto-builds and Pd-extended packages on Mac OS X,
the code either needs to be in CVS or Fink, or included in the OS.
You could just make a libdir package, then people could use DSSI with
plain pd too (with the libdir external).

more direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in
practice, it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
