How do I create Max standalones (collectives/applications) using FTM?

==Mac OS X==
This is all explained in the FTMStandaloneREADME.txt in the FTMStandalone folder of the FTM distribution (.dmg):

1. open your patch

2. drop the "ftm-externals" folder onto the "FTMStandaloneAnte" droplet

3. create your Max standalone as usual:

* build standalone into this folder("FTMStandalone")
* make sure to choose the "application" format

4. drop the standalone on the "FTMStandalonePost" droplet

Now you can use your standalone.

==Windows XP==
1. add all you need normally

2. include "C:/Program Files/Cycling '74/MaxMSP 4.6/support/libsndfile.dll"

3. include "C:/Program Files/Cycling '74/MaxMSP 4.6/support/pthreadVC2.dll"

4. include "C:/Program Files/Cycling '74/MaxMSP 4.6/support/MaxQuicktime.dll"

5. build your application/collective as usually

Now you can use your standalone.
