AOO for Max

Overview

This repository contains the source code for the AOO for Max package. There is no need to manually build your project. To download a ready to use package please visit the Release page.

The externals has been tested on Max8.1 running on MacOS 12.1 and Windows11. Presumably they should also work with more modern releases.

The source folder contains the source file for each external while the package contains the ready to install Max package folder into which the externals will be compiled.

Installation

Manually copy the downlaoded AOO for Max folder into your Max Packages folder or add it to the Max Options > File Preferences... When building from source you will find this folder inside the package repo subfolder

Develop

The project depends on the aoo library and on the max-sdk-base which are included as submodules in this repository

Clone the repo with:

git clone https://github.com/ddgg-el/aoo-for-max8.git
git submodule update --init --recursive

IMPORTANT Since Max samples are double, as for today you manually have to modify the file aoo/include/aoo_types.h:100

typedef double AooSample; // <---- missing ;
------------------------^

Otherwise the project will not compile

Build instruction

From the project's root folder

$ mkidr build
$ cd build
$ cmake -G<your-generator> .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
$ cmake --build . -j${nproc}

use "Xcode", "Unix Makefiles" or "Visual Studio <x>" in place of <your-generator>, or simply omit the -G option to use the default one.

The compiled externals will be installed in package/Aoo for Max/externals. At this point you are ready to install the project.
