Hi,

I am very new to the MAC and I’m trying to compile JUCE for the MAC but I get the following errors:

juce\_Application.h:226: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘…’ before ‘_’ token  
juce\_Application.h:226: error: expected unqualified-id before '_’ token  
juce\_Application.h:228: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘parameter’ with no type  
juce\_Application.h:259: error: expected unqualified-id before ‘_’ token  
juce\_Application.h:259: error: expected ‘,’ or ‘…’ before '_’ token  
juce\_Application.h:261: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘parameter’ with no type

juce\_StandardHeader.h:69: error: cstdarg: No such file or directory  
juce\_StandardHeader.h:70: error: climits: No such file or directory

juce\_StandardHeader.h:73: error: stdexcept: No such file or directory  
juce\_StandardHeader.h:74: error: typeinfo: No such file or directory

It looks like the following lines of juce\_StandardHeader.h are causing the errors:

#include   
#include   
#include   
#include   
#include   
#include   
#include

I’m using xcode as the development environment. Do these libraries come with the MAC? How would I go about telling xcode where to fine them?

sure they come with the mac. It’s the standard C++ library headers…

I think you should change the XCode projects. in my case I removed the xcconfig files which refer the MacOS 10.2 SDK which I don’t have.

And I changed the global project settings to use the MacOS 10.4 SDK (I don’t plan to support \< 10.4)

BTW I got a lot of deprecated warnings related to quickdraw.

Thank-you - that did the trick 🙂
