Hi Saul, as this is a flext-only related-post not referring to PD, i ask myself (and all of you): should there be a separate flext mailing list?

In regards to Max/MSP. I've set the source tree has is explained in the read me file. The only difference is I've set the 'Cycling74 OSX' to 'Max/MSP-SDK/4.5 headers/c74support', is this correct? I not sure what xmax is? At the minute it won't compile and I get 1445 errors, many of which are questioning the code. I'm assuming, due to the amount of errors that there are, other setting are not configured in Code Worrier. What would these be?

Do you use the flext.cw project? The settings therein should be ok. If you are using the latest flext from cvs you will need to enable "C++ exceptions" for the "language settings/C/C++-language" also, this is taken into account in tomorrow's cvs flext.

I don't get that many errors when compiling flext with the newest SDK but there are a few issues with it: Some parts of the Max/MSP SDK are not compliant to the C standard. You'll get some errors for lines like #endif _MOTO_ You should changes all of these to #endif /* _MOTO_ */

The other thing is that a few things have changed non-portably from the 4.3 headers to the 4.5 headers and i have to introduce a workaround into flext for that. I already posted a message on the Max mailing list and hope to find a portable solution.

I hope this all gets much easier (namely with a makefile) once i managed to try out the new Mach-O support.

best greetings, Thomas
