Description

we need a patch that automatically copies the frameworks, jcom.loader, jamoma.xsd and necessary XML-preset files automatically to the right place in a stand-alone build. Something similar to Tap.Tools builder - but for Jamoma.

see "Jamoma builder.maxpat" in the documentation folder.
Mac version seems to work. Windows version has to be done.
2 things:

- It seems that not all XML preset files are copied, because they don't show up in max while searching for text files within the modular folder.
- right now, only XML preset files from the Jamoma/modules folder are copied into the stand-alone.
is there a way to figure out the path of the UserLib folder, in order to copy these XML preset files too?

still Mac only

  • Target version changed from 0.5 to 0.5.1

Unfortunately, a true standalone can happen in time for 0.5 due to the issues Tim and me discussed on Skype this morning (i.e. the DSP extensions cannot be found inside of a standalone).
So we delay this task to the next release.

windows builds now works for 80% of the users.
The Jamoma/Extension folder must be localized at c:/program files/Common Files/ otherwise those files are not copied.

[09-09-10 2:17:45 PM] Tim Place: line 102 and following shows how to get that path in C code.
[09-09-10 2:18:03 PM] Tim Place: so maybe Theo could create an external that returns this path
