[jitter] Re: building a jitter app with shaders included

hi karl,

Ok great it is finding the shaders now. Nice error, btw. Here is the  
voodoo:

I also include the following folders in my build script:

folder "oncilla:/Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/jitter-shaders/ 
shared/arb/"
folder "oncilla:/Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/jitter-shaders/ 
shared/cg/"
folder "oncilla:/Applications/MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/jitter-shaders/ 
shared/glsl/"

But I thought this was not necessary anymore with 1.6.3, but try it. I  
might have been thinking of the jitter api.

Try to navigate when making the build script to these folders in your  
MaxMSP 4.6/Cycling '74/jitter-shaders/shared and include those three  
folders in there to find your correct path to them. Then build the  
app. About collective I am not sure. But app should work. Remember to  
put your shaders back into package/contents/support after the build.  
Again, abstraction and third party externals should be included with  
the build if they are loaded in the main patch, not after. Try  
launching the app without them first. If they don't show, include them  
in the build script. You can save your build script along the way to  
speed up this process.

cheers
