[PD-dev] Can somebody help to create a desktop / VST / AU version of a PD / libPD / app ?

Weird. It crashes for me on OSX when libpd is built with -O3 and the program is built with or without -O3.

*Note: I just finished reorganizing the libpd samples by language name. If you do a pull, the multi instance test is now located in samples/c/pdtest_multi 

Rebuilding and running it again yields:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
