I think the term "standalone" comes from Max/MSP. Basically, the idea only makes sense on Mac OS X. This just makes a copy of Pd and embeds the patch it in. That copy then can have its own name, icon, etc. On Debian/Ubuntu, it makes much more sense to make a .deb that depends on the Pd-extended .deb. .hc > > roman > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > Telefonate ohne weitere Kosten vom PC zum PC: http:// > messenger.yahoo.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Man has survived hitherto because he was too ignorant to know how to realize his wishes.
