Well... I have my pd patch running. I'm controlling it from external application using OSC messages.

I have 2 questions:

Can I build an exe file for Windows wich can be easyly installed in other computers containing my Pd patch?

Can I force Windows to run my Pd patch as a service and be invisible? (only accessible from Tray, for example)

At last, I don't need direct interaction with my pd patch, so It will be pretty if I can run it "silently".

Wainting for your ideas. Thanks a lot in advance.

One way is to run pd -nogui and have an interface communicate via OSC. You can write the interface in any scriping language you like and have an invisible Pd in the background.

At the moment there is no way to compile a Pd patch to a stand-alone executable.

Thanks Obiwannabe.

Excuse my ignorance: How I enter in -nogui mode?

I read the manual but I can't find it.

thanks again.

It's a command line option. There are a bunch of them which you can see when you launch "pd -?".
