[flext] Max 6.1, Mac OS 10.9 and flext externals

[Stefano Papetti]

Dear all,

can somebody confirm that currently the only way to use flext-based 
externals in Max 6.1 on Mac OS 10.9 is to set Max to run in 32-bit mode?
Conversely my externals report the following error:

    external~: unable to load object bundle executable
      2014-09-28 20:06:14.081 Max[20029:707] Error loading
    /Applications/Max 6.1/Cycling
    '74/external~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/external~: dlopen(/Applications/Max
    6.1/Cycling '74/external~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/external~, 262): no
    suitable image found.  Did find:
          /Applications/Max 6.1/Cycling
    '74/external~.mxo/Contents/MacOS/external~: mach-o, but wrong
    architecture

As far as I understand there's no other way, since flext doesn't support 
64-bit Max API (i.e. compilation with ARCH=i386 x86_64 doesn't work).
I don't need any 64-bit features btw, it's just a pity that one has to 
limit Max to 32-bit in order to run flext-based externals.

Thanks,
Stefano
