Pd-extended has all of the maxlib binaries in it, included
[netserver]/[netclient].
[netsend]/[netreceive] and [netserver]/[netclient] both just send Pd
messages over network sockets. But the Pd message format is very
easy, so if Virtools can open a network socket and generate and parse
simple text, then it can communicate directly with Pd. The message
format "any text ;\n", i.e. any kind of ASCII text that is terminated
by a semi-colon and a carriage return. People have successfully used
this method to exchange data with Java, PHP, Flash, etc.
OSC is another option, if Virtools can do OSC. Those objects are
also included in Pd-extended: [sendOSC], [dumpOSC], and [OSCroute].

Hello,
I'm working for a project called virtual instrument of music. For the application we use the programmes Virtools and pd and a
third one for the communication between them.The system works well, but for several reasons it might be good to
establish a direct connection between Virtools and pd.For it is not possible with [netreceive] I searched for other
possibilities and found [netserver] and [netclient] from maxlib. I'm a beginner on pd, and I have great difficulties in compiling
the source code from maxlib, so here is my question if anyone has
useful tips concerning the makfile? I know that I have to change it
but it's the first time so I don't really know what to do ... Or even better has anyone the already working *.dll?Has anyone tried to solve a similar problem of connecting two
programmes? In Virtools there is a so called building block that allows to send
web messages via the post method - to send a new message the
connection has to be closed, but the problem was that [netreceive]
couldn't do this.(By the way I'm using windows XP, pd version is 0.39-0, for
compiling I have the cygwin compiler.)Thanks for any help, best regards, Christina Leitner
