I usually work on OS-X, but I've been trying to build a Windows version of one of my objects that was written in C++ using G++ in Cygwin. There are instructions on how to do this in the Windows SDK for gcc but not for g++. Um... I had no problem figuring out which command I needed to use to get g++ to compile the files, but when I tried to link the files, unfortunately g++ is unable to find the Max libraries that I gave as arguments.

For example when trying to compile the example MSP application plussz~ with the command:

g++ -shared -mno-cygwin -L../../c74support/max-includes -lMaxAPI -L../../c74support/msp-includes -lMaxAudio -o plussz~.mxe plussz~.o plussz~.def

Cannot export ⌂MaxAudio_NULL_THUNK_DATA: symbol not found 

plussz~.o:plussz~.c:(.text+0x4e): undefined reference to `_z_dsp_free'

plussz~.o:plussz~.c:(.text+0x62): undefined reference to `_setup'

plussz~.o:plussz~.c:(.text+0x86): undefined reference to `_addmess'

I'm sure that I'm going some little thing wrong. Missing some flag or something along those lines. Does anyone know what it is that I might have done wrong here?

... and so on...

You might take a look at the Makefiles I used to compile rtcmix~ for

windows (source is here, down towards the bottom of the page):

I was able to use g++ to compile the main RTcmix code and then drag

it into the rtcmix~ object. It's pretty grungy code, though.

Thanks, Brad. After looking at your makefile I was able to figure out what I did wrong. I didn't create a def file, and my arguments were apparently ordered incorrectly.
