No FLTK opcodes on the Mac I'm afraid - they just can't work there. Surely there is a CsoundQT or Cabbage port for it.

Hello colleagues, I thought I would check out Iain McMurdy's examples but I am getting the same error seemingly in each. This is with Csound 6.18

error: syntax error, unexpected INTEGER_TOKEN  (token "255")
 from file ViolinPluck.csd (1), line 30:
 >>> FLcolor 255 <<<
Unexpected untyped word FLcolor when expecting a variable
Parsing failed due to invalid input!

I am on MacOS with vanilla csound 6.18. Anyone know what is required to run these?
