Boy, take a year off and everything changes.

I'm trying xcode for external building, but having no luck. My experience follows that of the recent "Tim's examples don't work" thread. I note that Tim's examples have been updated, but it's still not working for me. All I get is an object box (no error) with no inlets. Posts stuck in the main function don't happen. ( /6 behaves the same way, no hello from Xcode, but no error either.) I guess that means Max finds the file but main() is not called.

I've tried both old style code with main(fptr *f) and the the class_new approach.

4.5.5, 4.5.6 and 4.5.7 are all the same (West coast of US, about 2 miles from DZ's house.)

I've seen references to Fujinaga's tutorial, but the only one I can find is codeWorrier based.

and, is there any documentation on this obex stuff?

So, is xcode still a distant dream?

Hi all,
i'm building all my Max externals with Xcode and haven't had problems. 
I also find it very straightforward.

This is discussed in the pattr SDK documentation, which I believe is

I'll leave it to other extern developers to offer advice here,  
however, a new Mach-O UB SDK with more documentation on setting up  
your XCode projects is coming soon.

This is discussed in the pattr SDK documentation, which I believe is  
a sub folder of the latest SDK.

I worked through Tim's example. Initially my version wouldn't load 

(rather like your account, Peter), then the next day, magically, it 

did (or I tried some voodoo and suddenly things worked, but I can no 

longer recall all details). It also exhibited the mysterious slash- 

digit-alias behavior, which no one has been able to explain.

Since then I've found myself working on a series of new features and 

objects for Litter Power, and wanted to get these working in a stable 

environment. So I've fallen back to CW and CFM until such time as:

Well, it would have been useful to beta-test anything UB-related, and  
it would be helpful to know when 'soon' will be so I could plan my  
time accordingly, but neither is in the present indicative, so what  
can I do but get on with what there is?

effort to make my Code XCode-friendly. I took Apple's CW->XC porting  
guide, noted which CW idiosyncracies I like that XCode doesn't, and  
am now making the requisite changes.

I think that would be the most bang for our buck here.
