[PD] compiling maxlib, virtools - pd

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Pd-extended has all of the maxlib binaries in it, included  
[netserver]/[netclient].

http://puredata.org/downloads

[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].
