Hi Albert,

Thanks for your advice.

I’ve gone ahead and installed that, and am now running Faust 2.43 instead of
2.40 .  It’s maybe slightly more stable, but it still crashes often when 
reloading
a .dsp file, and it still truncates compiler errors.  Also, MacPorts included 
more than 6 gigabytes of related libraries, which took a really
long time to download.  Possibly we could work around all that, but it’s
not going to make a great first impression.

I’ve asked a friend of mine who works with PD if he can help me put together
a Makefile to compile faust code into PD plugins and then auto-load
that into PD.  It seems doable, and I know at least some of the people 
who want to take this class are regular PD users.  

BTW, I don’t (yet) understand why it’s necessary to install a separate package 
just to run faust modules in PD, when there’s already a puredata.cpp 
architecture 
file in the main faust distro.  What’s the difference?

I had one other idea for doing this cross-platform in a relatively simple way:
compile Faust to asm.js, and run it in a browser!  There’s an article claiming 
this is
possible on the main Faust website, but I haven’t found a working example yet.
(One document I read suggested that WebAudio is not really “there yet”, but
that was written some time ago.)  Do you think this is a workable option?

Thanks much for your help,
