Im just trying to figure out a way to run puredata on a browser as a
internet plugin.
Why didn't you say so? ;)
There are some projects regarding Pd as a browser plugin. This is what Google turned up: http://www.iua.upf.edu/~malonso/pdplugin/ http://www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/dafx03/proceedings/pdfs/dafx66.pdf
Beware: These are not really useful for distributing general purpose patches. For that, you need to use a real Pd executable, either use an installed one or include a stripped down one with your patches for Linux, OS-X and/or Windows, like Max/MSP basically does.
Which gives me an idea: Maybe we should make a minimal Pd distribution, pd-compressed as the opposite of pd-extended, for the major operating systems? Just a the bin-directory of a static build of Pd, nothing else. Add a .bat or .sh file that starts this Pd and loads MAIN.pd in the top dir:
bin: pd(.exe) pd-gui(.exe) pd.tk lib: ... MAIN.pd RUN.[sh|bat]
Maybe also include expr.
Though, as Windows lacks so many libraries, some more stuff would need to be included. I made such a standalone for Windows and Linux(not static) and put it to http://footils.org/pkg/pd-app.zip, if you want to try. It's down to 1.9MB, and was tested on Linux with Wine. Just run "RUN.bat" on Linux or "RUN.sh" on Linux.
