[Cmake] xcode ?

[Yarden Livnat]

thanks, Chris

I spoke with an Apple rep. in SuperComputing '03 and he mentioned that 
they are working closely with trolltech on integrating QT and XCode. I 
just noticed that qmake (part of qt from trolltech) now (ver 3.3) 
supports generating .pbxproj files. I was hoping  this was not a 
particular collaboration between trolltech and Apple, but I guess I was 
wrong.

I haven't use XCode yet, so I'm not sure what it will give me over 
xemacs/gdb but I'd like to give it a test. How does one generate a 
project that uses makefies ?

yes, I am a register developer and I'll submit the request as per you 
suggestion.

thanks again,

	Yarden
