Does anybody succeeded to compile max external with the 10.6 SDK? In the next release of the SDK can it be compliant with the LLVM GCC 4.2 compiler.. i heard it can do magic, almost I know I can compile with the 10.5 sdk with the LLVM GCC 4.2 but it gives me alot of warning a bout a depreciated conversion from const char* to char* specially.

And the error that I get with the 10.6 sdk is it seams that there is a conflict with to fonction either the std printf and the one provided with in the cycling74 api... I might be wrong on which function but it does give me an error...

compile-max-5-0-with-10-6-sdk

here is the warnings and error I get, I hope someone can help me...

I get this if I use llvm GCC 4.2 as the compiler and compiling with the osx 10.6 sdk

Cycling74/c74support/max-includes/ext_proto.h:599: error: syntax error before numeric constant

Cycling74/c74support/max-includes/ext_proto.h:599: warning: conflicting types for built-in function '__builtin___sprintf_chk'

and if I compile with the 10.5 but still with the llvm gcc 4.2

MaxManager/src/maxManager.h:61: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

C74::class_register(C74::CLASS_BOX, MaxClass::GetSingleton().Maxclass_);

and C&74::CLASS_BOX is define like this in ext_obex.h

I don't think I can do anything for this beside const casting...

there is also a warning at this line:
Cycling74/c74support/max-includes/ext_proto.h:599: warning: conflicting types for built-in function '__builtin___sprintf_chk'

this is the line 599 of ext_proto.h
int sprintf(char *, const char *, ...);

I get this warning in my code
MaxManager/src/maxManager.h:61: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

the line is:
C74::class_register(C74::CLASS_BOX, MaxClass::GetSingleton().Maxclass_);

What I've done in my own code is create a wrapper for gensym(), like this:

t_symbol* MaxGensym(const char* cstr)
{
  return gensym((char*)cstr);
}

Then I can use this function without having to manually cast every single time to make the warnings go away.

For CLASS_BOX, you could just use _sym_box from commonsym, or MaxGensym("box") as above.

Hopefully we can tighten our constness belt for future versions of Max, but in the meantime I recommend that you do this for quieting the blizzard of GCC warnings.

Then I can use this function without having to manually cast every single time to make the warnings go away.  

Thanks I'll try this it is way cleanner than const casting everything...

And do you know about the 10.6 sdk thing? I can't seem to compile with it...

i get this in the commonsym.c file

We are, for the most part, compiling against the 10.4 SDK internally so as to keep compatibility for users with older operating systems. Thus, we haven't experienced this (though it is entirely plausible).

I recommend that you simply comment out these lines in your local copy of the ext_proto.h.

Thanks you very much.. and of course this worked! I am now compiling with the osX 10.6 sdk with LLVM 4.2 compiler. At least it is working with my simple object.. I don't know yet if other things might be broken...
