Hey y'all. trying to compile the C++ example from Graham Wakefield using Visual Studio on windows (I'd use my mac but the whole point is to port a windows program), and i'm getting 2 errors:

Example.cpp(3) : error C2955: 'MaxCpp5' : use of class template requires template argument list

MaxSDK-5.1.1c74supportMaxCPP5maxcpp5.h(91) : see declaration of 'MaxCpp5'

anyone seen these errors or have an idea how to fix it? thanks.

    Example(t_symbol * sym, long ac, t_atom * av) {

        setupIO(2, 2); // inlets / outlets

        post("created an example");

    ~Example() { post("freed an example"); }    

        post("bang in inlet %i!", inlet);

        outlet_bang(m_outlet[0]);

    void test(long inlet, t_symbol * s, long ac, t_atom * av) {

        post("%s in inlet %i (%i args)", s->s_name, inlet, ac);

        outlet_anything(m_outlet[1], gensym("test"), ac, av);

    // create a class with the given name:

    Example::makeMaxClass("example");

    REGISTER_METHOD_GIMME(Example, test);

class Example : public MaxCpp5 {
public:
	Example(t_symbol * sym, long ac, t_atom * av) {
		setupIO(2, 2); // inlets / outlets
		post("created an example");
	}
	~Example() { post("freed an example"); }	

	// methods:
	void bang(long inlet) {
		post("bang in inlet %i!", inlet);

	}

		post("%s in inlet %i (%i args)", s->s_name, inlet, ac);
		outlet_anything(m_outlet[1], gensym("test"), ac, av);
	}
};

extern "C" int main(void) {

	REGISTER_METHOD(Example, bang);
	REGISTER_METHOD_GIMME(Example, test);
}

I should mention im using Visual Studio 2008.

I just tried building the example on Visual Studio 2008 - it works for me.

I think I know what the problem is: your class needs to inherit from MaxCpp5 with a template parameter (which is the class name, in the 'curiously recurring template' pattern); that is, like this:

I just noticed that the example code on my webpage didn't display this properly, because the angle brackets were treated as HTML tags. I just fixed it.

I've just updated the archive to include a Visual C++ 2008 solution file for the examples.
