Hi,

is there an API to create a XCode project ?

I need a way to hold my makefile based project in sync with XCode.

Or is there another way to create a XCode project out of a makefile ?

Thanks, Lothar

You can do this using AppleScript.

You might find this useful:
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22692> this turns
XCode projects -> makefiles. It's the reverse of what you want but I
wrote it because I start in XCode then move the code to other Unices
and this does the job.

Thanks,

now I do no more need the XCode project for my self. I had only trouble
to use the debugger of
XCode. I have solved this by adding a custom executable.

But it would be an attempt to try AppleScript. Therefore I would extend
my makefile generator to
emit an AppleScript file as well. If this would be implemented, the
XCode project would be in sync
with the makefile based project.

I use this generator (mkmk) also on Linux, Solaris and Windows to
create my project makefiles per target.

If someone is interrested to help, please welcome :-)

Regards,

Lothar

You might take a look at CMake: www.cmake.org
