Hello,<br> This is my first post to the cmake mailing list, so I hope it works... I downloaded the 2.4.8 RC 11 for OS X and for what it is worth it appears to work just as well as 2.4.7. In both 2.4.7 and 2.4.8 RC 11 I have some serious issues with the Xcode generator. I just bought my first Mac (MacBook Pro running Leopard) a few months ago, so I am unfamiliar with Xcode and even OS X in general. However, my project (
<a href="http://www.crownandcutlass.com">http://www.crownandcutlass.com</a>) has a unit test framework that has worked well for us on several versions and distributions of Linux as well as Windows XP. The project is set up as a static library and the unit test framework is a separate CMake project that uses that library. Code compiled in OS X using the Makefile generator appears to work fine. I still have a few quirks to work out for OS X, but overall it is very much as I expected.
<br><br> However, if I use the Xcode generator, I have several issues. FIrst off, we have a "<a href="http://config.cpp.in">config.cpp.in</a>" file that is used to generate "config.cpp" as a part of the build. The Xcode project includes a reference to a file "
config.cpp.rule" which does not exist. That generates this warning:<br>warning: no rule to process file '/(my path)/Protocce/src/config.cpp.rule' of type file for architecture i386<br><br> I can just remove that from the project and it seems to be fine until next time I regenerate the project. No big deal, but it is a little annoying. The bigger issue is that the resulting binary has issues catching exceptions. Some units can catch exceptions fine, but others cannot at all. At first, I thought I was having issues due to the visibility flags, but I am using a static lib and I believe the visibility issues only apply to dynamic libs. The exceptions that I cannot catch pass through a "catch(...)" so I believe even with visibility issues that at least should catch the exception.

</a><br><br> Like I said, the same code base works fine in XP, LInux, and if I use the Makefiles it works in OS X. I may just be doing something stupid. This is my first CMake project, and like I said I just got a Mac so I have never used Xcode outside of this attempt. I am not sure this is worth delaying
2.4.8 since the behavior is the same as 2.4.7. Also, I have not had time to try building a new CMake binary from CVS, sorry. However, I thought I should report what I'm experiencing before too much longer. Let me know what I can do to help.
