Syntax Error : max msvc building failure
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
TL;DR : I face a syntax error when building flext under windows, although I successfuly built it under OSX.
I am trying to build flext for Max 7 with msvc.
After configuring config-win-max-msvc.txt, the second run of build max msvc build fails as follows :

Sorry for that French command line tool (still cannot figure how to change its language).
So the error here is :
d:\downloads\flext-master\source\flclass.h(1119): error C2061: erreur de syntaxe : identificateur 'Point'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077:
Which translates as syntax error : indentifier 'Point'.
Identifier 'Point is only found in flclass.h in this bloc (ll.1115-1119) :
1115 #if FLEXT_SYS == FLEXT_SYS_MAX
1116 char **indesc,**outdesc;
1117
1118 static void cb_assist(flext_hdr *c,void *b,long msg,long arg,char *s);
1119 static void cb_click (flext_hdr *c, Point pt, short mods);
I can't find how to work around this error, since it lays in fext's source's headers...
PLUS I successfuly built flext and flext-based externals under OSX (using GCC) this week.
How can a syntax error be plateform-dependent ?
I also note the warning D9002 : unknown '/YXflext.h' option ignored...
If anyone has any insight on this...

Hi, in this case, the syntax error means something like "identifier not found". The point type was defined in older versions of the Max SDK, but is no longer. The functionality of the assist callback needs to be reviewed.

Thank you for your reply !
Sadly, this is way beyond my skills...
Are you still working on flext at all ? Or shall I look for another solution :)
