+Please be aware that the build system might have difficulties handling paths with spaces.
+Under unix you might get along with escaping your\ path or quoting "your path".
+Under Windows escaping doesn't work at all and quoting might not work either - therefore it's

-- MaxMSP Mach-O DSP externals cannot be the first externals loaded (e.g. in Max Runtime)

-    there must be a CFM signal external loaded beforehand!!! (Max will crash otherwise)

-	-> i think this is fixed in Max in the meantime!

 - PD: floats into the leftmost inlet of DSP objects can't be used as messages 

   even if there's no signal inlet at all
