102 errors, no warnings. The majority is about redefining various
functions, a few of them is Number out of range in various headers
included by Carbon.h included by MoreFilesX.h.

The code itself is very simple, just a quick test:

=====
#include <iostream>
#include "MoreFiles.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
#pragma unused(argc, argv)
using namespace std;

 char From[255] = "HARD DISK:Applications:Utility:Terminal";
 char To[255];
 FSMakePath (From, To);
 cout << To << endl;
 return 0;
}
=====

Actually, this is the only function I'd need, to convert a HFS path
into a Posix one, so I already thought about removing MoreFilesX and
only use the actual function code but I need to dig out the definitions
of FSRefParam and FSRef to do so. This will probably be my next step
unless you can tell me what I'm doing wrong with this... :-)

The project is Mach-O C++ Console Final as CW 10 creates it itself,
plus Carbon.framework added. The environment is OS X 10.3, XCode 1.5
(SDK, DevTools and gcc 3.3). I know that there is a newer version of
XCode but this is what I need (and is sufficient) for the actual
project itself and I really hope this doesn't depend on the version.

Mostly various functions redeclared and a few numbers out of range.

As I'd only need a single path conversion function, I also tried to
copy the relevant code into my own program and use that. This one
compiles but doesn't return a POSIX path:

#include <iostream>
#include <Files.h>

void FSMakePath (char* HFSpath, char* POSIXpath) {
 FSRefParam pb;
 FSRef ref;

 pb.ioVRefNum = pb.ioDirID = 0;
 pb.ioNamePtr = (StringPtr) HFSpath;
 pb.newRef = &ref;
 PBMakeFSRefSync (&pb);
 FSRefMakePath (&ref, (unsigned char*) POSIXpath, 255);
} // FSMakePath

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
#pragma unused(argc, argv)
using namespace std;

 char From[255] = "HARD DISK:Applications:Utility:Terminal";
 char To[255];
 FSMakePath (From, To);
 cout << To << endl;
 return 0;
}
