i get the same errors when trying to compile jslider from the examples. please see the screenshot. thanks klaus

hi klaus,

the newline thing is just a warning. the real problem is that you need to add a missing .c file to your gcc compile. specifically, you need to add max-includes/common/commonsyms.c.

cheers, tim

hi tim, thank you! please be patient with my next question. i tried many different options including -lobjc -l -c and -L but could not achieve a nice result. what exactly should be written in the gcc command?

gcc -shared -mno-cygwin -o simplemax.mxe simplemax.o simplemax.def -L../../c74support/max-includes -lMaxAPI -lcommon/commonsym.c

gives a not found.

also tried simply putting commonsym.c into max-includes...

grmpf klaus

Hi Klaus,

Have you looked into the "collect" example in the SDK? It includes a Makefile for compiling with GCC on windows, and it includes compiling commonsyms.c as part of the process.

Hope this helps! Tim

thanks tim this pointed me in the right direction. its -include in the first gcc command:

gcc -c -mno-cygwin -DWIN_VERSION -DWIN_EXT_VERSION -I../../c74support/max-includes -include common/commonsyms.c simplemax.c

so i got my first .mxe )))

cheers klaus
