[B2-devel] Announcing SheepShaver Xcode build

[Alexei S. <ale...@gm...>]

I've committed an Xcode project to the SheepShaver repository that
makes it easier to build SheepShaver as a Universal Binary (with 3
architectures: i386, x86_64 and ppc).

This is an optional new build system that does not affect the existing
autogen/configure based build system, which is still fully supported.
The Xcode project will build SheepShaver with configuration
"--enable-sdl-audio --enable-sdl-video --disable-vosf".

The Xcode project lives in
SheepShaver/src/MacOSX/SheepShaver.xcodeproj and has been tested to
work on Snow Leopard 64-bit with Xcode 3.2.6 and the 10.4 SDK
installed.

To use it, you need the following:

1. A side-by-side checkout of SheepShaver and BasiliskII CVS
repositories (this is normal).
2. Having run 'make links' from SheepShaver/ root.
3. SDL installed as a framework in /Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework.
4. You do not need to run autogen.sh / configure to use the Xcode
project. If you've done so already, you should remove or temporary
move/rename src/Unix/config.h, as the presence of that file currently
conflicts with the Xcode build and will cause errors in Xcode.

With the above all set, you should be able to launch the Xcode project
and build SheepShaver, resulting in a UB build containing SDL as a
private framework in the bundle. The result will be located in either
SheepShaver/src/MacOSX/build/Debug or
SheepShaver/src/MacOSX/build/Release directories, depending if you do
a Debug or Release build.

Let me know if it works for you!

Cheers,
