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

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

HOW TO CREATE AN FTM STANDALONE

Mac OS X

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.
