I would like to learn how to write the simplest server/client C++ command line application for sending a few lines of data from one application to the other in real-time, using OSC (Open Sound Control). I would like to make it work in localhost mode or over the network, but I think in OSC its just the question of the IP address specified.
I don’t know anything about OSC, and the official page seems a bit ambiguous. On this page it says:
CNMAT’s open-source library for
constructing OSC packets: This is all
you need if you want your application
to be able to format OSC packets for
sending over the network.
http://archive.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/src/libOSC/
But that is just a few files from 2003-2004, definitely not something I would plan on using for learning OSC. Then it introduces OSC Control Kit, but on another page it says that its out-dated and strongly suggest against using the control kit.
Maybe this is the best page: http://opensoundcontrol.org/guide-osc-libraries which lists libraries and gives some opinion on them, but I still don’t know which library I should choose out of the 4.
What I would like to learn/use is a simple, cross-platform widely supported library that I could use in Visual C++ 2010 for building command line applications. What do you suggest? Can you write or link a tutorial using that library?
We are using oscpack as a cross plattform osc library.

we are using it with Linux, Windows and MacOSX and are quite happy. It’s simple to use
and works well.
