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

[Cárthach Ó Nuanáin]

Not entirely sure myself to be honest Thomas,

I think when you tell it that it's to be x64 it looks for a dsp64 specfic
processing method (which flext doesn't have yet) and requires a different
type of call to object_method which throws a compilation error.

This is what I gather from here:-
http://cycling74.com/sdk/MaxSDK-6.1.3/html/chapter_appendix_d.html
http://cycling74.com/sdk/MaxSDK-6.1.3/html/chapter_appendix_e.html

I was working on an external that doesn't require any audio so commenting
this line has seemingly allowed me to compile flext and build my non-DSP
centric object.

Cheer,
C
