Write a C or C++ function in the .mm file that is called by the .cpp file. Nothing magic.

What are the errors? What is in your .h file? I bet your .h file is including Objective-C headers, which won't work when your .h file is included in a plain .cpp file.

What you tried above should work, once you figure out what is wrong with your .h file.

An alternative:
1. Add Objective-C++ code to your existing .cpp file inside MAC_COCOA.
2. Tell Xcode that your .cpp file is actually Objective-C++.
