Question

I reference the FBXSDK from a number of files, but one in particular causes this error to crop up. The particular header just imports the fbxsdk like so:

#import "fbxsdk.h"

I also reference it from the .mm file, and compiling with just the .mm referencing it works fine. It’s only when I import in the header that the fbxsdk brings up errors like this:

include/fbxfilesdk/fbxfilesdk_memory.h:67:15: error: new: No such file or directory

and a bunch of expected '*' before '*' errors. I’m guessing it has to do with the compile order, or it’s compiling the fbxsdk with a different rule set after reading the initial header? I’m still learning how to work with different compilers and libraries, so any suggestions or clues as to where to look for a solution would be helpful.

Working with Xcode, in a mix of Obj-C++ and C.

Chances are you are trying to import fbxsdk.h from a .m file, not a .mm file. If you’re importing fbxsdk.h in one of your own .h files, you need to be sure that your own .h file is only imported by .mm files, not .m files.
