That was totally my fault, I just noticed and now I find it hard to
understand how I missed it.
Sorry.

It's optional part that should compile as "Fluxa". From memory I don't
think it depends on anything that Fluxus doesn't depend on.
It needs to be started seperately as it's its own binary, it gets
commands from Fluxus over OSC. From there on (help fluxa) will tell
you more. If that doesn't help; shout :-)

Yes, absolutely and this is a lot of fun.
All you need for this is to connect the output of Fluxa to the input
of Fluxus (as well as to your soundcard, of course).
That way you can have Fluxus react to the sounds and have scripts that
generate both sounds and images. This is a lot of fun and I strongly
recommend trying it. Trying this live is taxing (I tried and found it
a bit much) but it's a great way to spend a evening.

OSX isn't my specialty but Fluxa I know a thing or two about, ask if
you have questions there.

Yours,
Kas.
