I'm aiming to add a simple class to an external. In the long run, it's so that I can process things like FFT data using a class (and avoid memory restriction etc.)

I've started with adding a new class 'Extra' (C++ file and header) to a version of simplemax. This compiles fine, with a constructor and a couple of functions, until the point where I add

So, my question is: is there something fundamentally wrong in my approach.

I began looking at Tim Place's new SDK 5.0.8 Collect, which uses a different approach to doing a C++ class. However, none of these SDK examples compile as :

warning: The configuration settings file maxmspsdk.xcconfig will not be used due to an error: 'SDKROOT[arch' isn't a valid variable name.

I've tried removing MaxAPI.frameworks and MaxAudioAPI.frameworks from the Library/Frameworks folder. But that isn't working. I'm on X-Code 2.4 and OS X 10.4.11 (since I still like Max4.6 and if I go up to 10.5 I gather that may be problematic).

However, I would still expect that adding in the simple 'Extra' class in SDK 5.0.6 would work fine.

Any suggestions/info on how to use Classes within an external would be a great help.

I've compiled the same 'Extra' Class in a C++ tool and it works fine so I doubt it is to do with the class itself.

Then it says 
error: parse error before 'Extra'
syntax error before '{' token
syntax error before '.' token
syntax error before '}' token

It sounds like you have C++ in your header file, but the source file is being compiled as plain-old C code. Thus, the header file is included with code that the C compiler does not like.

Is this possible? What is the file extension of your source file? If it is .c, then try changing it to .cpp.
