Dammit... MUI_MakeObjectA() is in the muimaster.library, and the
compiler knows by having seen the proper 'pragma'-definition, thus
inserts something like "move.l MUIMasterBase(a4), a6; jsr
_LVOMUI_MakeObjectA(a6)". MUI_MakeObject() on the other hand is the
variable argument variation, where thee compiler needs to build the
argument list on the stack, and pass a pointer to this to the former
function. Most compilers can do this on-the-fly (again by seeing proper
pragma-stuff), but if it can't, you need either a link library (which
declare a stub function) or you simply declare the stub function
yourself, as I did in my second reply...

Your compiler lacks the ability to generate stubs on the fly, so you
would be able to compile with another compiler.

Personally I wouldn't take someone elses source and compile it with my
favourite compiler, cause it often leads to tons of errors, and it's
quite tedious to spend your time fixing these. Instead write something
yourself, line by line -- it's fine with copy'n'paste, but take only
small portions at a time, that'll ensure that each time you get a
compiler error, you should only get one, and you should know exactly
which line has caused the problem...
