Functional Programming in Clojure for MaxMSP
Install
The following JAR files need to go into Cycling '74/java/lib:
clojure-1.3.0.jarnet.loadbang.clojure-1.2.0.jarnet.loadbang.lib-1.8.0.jarnet.loadbang.scripting-1.1.0.jarlog4j-1.2.12.jar
The file of patchers and Clojure script files
(maxmsp-clojure-expo74.zip) goes into the patches folder for
Max (or anywhere in Max's search path).
Downloads available under this GitHub project if you have an account; otherwise, all available from Dropbox.
Java
OS X versions up to Snow Leopard have Java installed by default.
OS X Lion does not have Java installed, but typing java in a
Terminal window prompts to start the installation process.
For Windows, Java is downloadable from Oracle. The JRE (Java Runtime) will probably work, but I tested with the JDK.
Getting Started
The directory trails contains README files for a set of tutorials;
corresponding patchers are in the directory patchers. The directory
DONE contains completed exercises.
More advanced examples can be found in the source net.loadbang.clojure project.
Other Software
- Windows text editor: Notepad++ - supports editing of Lisp source.
- OS X text editor: TextMate - supports bracket matching.
- Either platform: jEdit - native Java application.
Original Sources
All the net.loadbang sources are on GitHub:
The other dependent libraries (log4j, and Clojure itself) are pulled
in via Maven in the build process; sources are also available for
these.
