First of all I am new to the max/msp sdk and have been waiting for ver 5 to start having a look.

I have built some of the examples and have them running in Max/Msp ok.

My question is concerning debugging, the html help shows the following which I must say I have difficulty understanding.

Copy frameworks (MaxAPI.framework etc.) from /Applications/MaxMSP.app/Contents/Frameworks to /Library/Frameworks

            myObject.xcodeproj

            myOtherObject.xcodeproj

            MaxMSP Runtime.app

            myOtherObject.mxo

Make a patch with your object and messages to test it (object can be bogus)

Set MaxMSP Runtime to be executable for your object (this is saved locally)

Copy the frameworks (which are not in this folder) to where?

Also what exactly is this folder hierarchy signifying?

Copy frameworks (MaxAPI.framework etc.) from /Applications/MaxMSP.app/Contents/Frameworks to /Library/Frameworks
folder structure:
	Max5Dev
		c74support
		myObject
			myObject.c
			myObject.xcodeproj
			myOtherObject
			myOtherObject.c
			myOtherObject.xcodeproj
	sysbuild
		Development
			MaxMSP Runtime.app
			Cycling ’74
			max-externals
			myObject.mxo
			myOtherObject.mxo

Make a patch with your object and messages to test it (object can be bogus)
Set MaxMSP Runtime to be executable for your object (this is saved locally)
Build and Debug
Set breakpoint in your object

Aha well posting that message has answered my first question!

Copy to /Library/frameworks this is not displayed in the html window but has cut and copied, weird!

yes, you make Runtime the executable program in X-Code for debugging. So then when you debug, runtime gets launched, you open your patch and can go through the code bit by bit.
