Old user, long time since last max development. I am trying to compile an external for Max 7. The code is for an external I wrote in 2002/3 and last compiled in maybe 2006/7. It uses the old max object style (Object ob, Atom, etc), which I understand is deprecated.

I imported the files to a project based on the current SDK examples, and updated relevant settings.

XCode reports warnings based on deprecation until the linker stage, when _DisposePtr, _NewPtr, _SETFLOAT, _SETLONG throw uninformative errors.

Can I correct this, or do I need to update the external to the new style? Any other suggestions welcome.

Yes, thank you. Please see below for linker error messages and lines throwing warnings. I assume that I just need to go through and update per the new SDK?

In the header, lines like the following throw warnings

In the .c file, the following return warnings:

The linker errors look like the image attached.

In the header, lines like the following  throw  warnings

Object ob;    // required header
Atom  *a_obs;    // -atom version to outlet 

In the .c file, the following return warnings:

setup(
 (t_messlist **)&hmmm_class, 
 (method)hmmm_new, 
 (method)hmmm_free, 
 (short)sizeof(Hmmm), 
 0L, A_GIMME, 0);

addbang((method)hmmm_bang);        
 SETLONG(&atomstates[0],state);

(Those are just exemplary locations where warnings occur.)
