[PD] TouchOSC and Pure Data on OS X

[Wilfred de Zoete]

Installing the library on OSX was easier than I thought: path and 
startup under preferences.
Now I can create the objects. But... I still cannot open all the patches 
that I downloaded from the TouchOSC-site and Williams patch has the same 
problems. I just get a watch as mouse pointer. I can open and make new 
or other patches while this is going on but nothing happens. When I try 
it again sometimes PD crashes.

I did get a new patch to work. Basically I used the same objects as 
William described in his first reply ( that would be [udpreceive 8000], 
[unpackOSC], [print x] ) but to get a connection going I first had to 
connect from PD to the iPhone with the following comment and object:

[ connect 192.168.1.2 9000 \
|
[udpsend]

I hope this will help Richie as well.

Cheers,

Wilf
