The GNUstep Xcode Library is a library for building xcode projects. It can be used to parse and provide information regarding an xcode project or used to build an xcode project directly.

The GNUstep Xcode Library is a library for building xcode projects. It can be used to parse and provide information regarding an xcode project or used to build an xcode project directly.

1.1 License

The GNUstep libraries and library resources are covered under the GNU Lesser General Public License. This means you can use these libraries in any program (even non-free programs). If you distribute the libraries along with your program, you must make the improvements you have made to the libraries freely available. You should read the COPYING.LIB file for more information.

1.2 How to use

To use this library you need to build it and install it and then compile the front-end which is in the Tools directory and is called buildtool.
Simply go into a directory which contains an Xcode project and type buildtool and it should build the project. If it doesn't then submit a bug.
Currently GNUstep can only build projects for macOS. Once support for UIKit and other frameworks are available, those will be added.

1.2.1 Plans for the future

• Create delegate which will provide a way for the library to execute callbacks into the caller so that information can be shown. This should eliminate the need to print anything in the library as all of the printing will be done on the front end based on information sent back by the library to the delegate.
• Add more options to how the build is run so that the caller can specify which target should be built.
• Add support for translated to .pcproj files.

1.2.2 Documentation

I am working on a manual as well as gsdocs for the code so that the library is properly documented. There is a manual for buildtool.plist settings and other information in the Documentation directory of this project.

1.3 How can you help?

• Give us feedback! Tell us what you like; tell us what you think could be better.

  Please log bug reports on the GNUstep project page https://github.com/gnustep/libs-xcode/issues or send bug reports to [email protected].

  Happy hacking!
