[Cmake] xcode ?

[William A. Hoffman]

qmake is open source isn't it?   Perhaps we could figure it out from that.
If you could send me a copy or link of the source to qmake that supports xcode,
I could have at least figure out how hard it would be.   For now, the makefiles
work very well on OSX.   You just run the Mac version of cmake ccmake or the wx
windows version of CMakeSetup.  It will generate makefiles just like on any other
unix system.  Then you run make.

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.

There are mysterious hex strings, value types, and other things that make it impractical to create the files from outside XCode.

The other thing that you could do is create a project that will use CMake-generated Makefiles. The approach you take will depend on just how complicated your build steps are and exactly which features of XCode you want to use. ZeroLink? GUI debugger?
