[Alephmodular-devel] Re: XCode 2.1

Working with AlephModular

Tag .pbjproj with XCODE-2_0

Open AlephModular.pbproj in XCcode 2.1
     It prompts me to make a copy to be updated to an .xcodeproj.
         I click 'Upgrade a copy'
     It prompte me for where to save.
         I select same name and directory. AlephModular.xcodeproj
     Project file opens.

Project file still has:
     the PB Compatible target
     the XCode compatible target
     no other new targets
     (All sub files of project were copied over as well, notably the
         project.pbxproj.in file I use for autoconf purposes in AM)

Notable changes:
     Comments have been added to sections
     All references are now followed by a comment specifying what is  
being
         referenced
     All file references now have their expanded isa information  
included in
         their defining line (Translation: A file's base set of  
information is
         now all on one line)
     CFlags specifiers are no longer a single quoted list, but an  
array with one
         quoted element per specified flag. This applies to
         OTHER_CFLAGS
         WARNING_CFLAGS
         GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS
         OTHER_CPLUSPLUSFLAGS
         (it does not apply to OTHER_REZFLAGS though)

Working in XCode:
     Most elements that used to be in Info on the project file are now
         specifally in the build target settings with the general  
exception
         of base target architecture.
         Currently sticking with 'Current' May try 10.4 (universal)  
if needed
     Removing PB Compatible target
         AM had this target so while the native XCode target was the  
default,
             additions of files could be added to the PB Compatible  
target and
             then merged into the PB-2_0 version of the project file.
         With the changes to the file format, this is no longer  
possible, so
              we may as well remove it for simplicity. For A1 I  
recommend moving
              to an XCode native target and removing the PB  
compatible one.
     XCode now puts built files into a Configuration directory within  
the build
         directory. So you will need to move support files into the  
new location,
         for instance, maps and such at AM/A1 complain about if they  
don't find.
         This should be settable, I can't seem to locate it.

All of the version stuff delegated by configure.ac is either getting  
outside the
     bounds I can configure it in XCode (for instance, extra c-flags)  
or wasn't
     present in the project file for native targets (moved to  
external file
     Info-AlephModular.plist, specifically things like 0.4.0.CVS as an
     application version.)

As such configuring the XCode project file for AM will be removed from
     configure.ac. Which does make my life easier when adding files  
to XCode.


AM is now compiling and running. However I want to normalize some  
settings as
compared with a freshly created project and try and locate where the  
option of a
universal build is even if I can't actually test the thing. :)
