[OSC_dev] New developer's library

[Jeff Glatt]

Hi folks,

This is my first post to the list, and the reason is to announce a new GPL 
library
that can be used by Windows and Linux developers to implement Open Sound
Control in their C/C++ applications.

A couple weeks ago, I decided to investigate what OSC was all about, and
perhaps use it in some C apps I wrote. I looked at the various libraries,
and LIBLO appeared to be the most suitable. But there were some things
about it I wanted to change. (For one thing, I use Visual C++ on Windows,
and I needed it to compile cleanly, without any cygwin environment for
p_threads, and stuff like that). I also wanted to reduce memory allocations,
and change other things. In the end, it turned out that there were so many
alterations to the code, that I decided to just create another alternative
code base that was only very loosely based upon LIBLO. The new library
is called SimpleOSC.

I've made a ZIP file containing the sources and binaries (for Windows. For
Linux, there are gcc make files to create the binaries for your distro).
Please look at the README.TXT for a brief overview of changes from
LIBLO. And read INDEX.HTM for the excruciating details on everything
about using SimpleOSC.
