Re: XCode makes easy things hard...

Actually, setting it up in Target info is more general.

Generally, you have one Target and at least two build styles (dev+deploy) in the Project Info.

To set a header path used by both build styles of the project, set it in the Target info.

From the docs:

"The build setting values in a build style have higher precedence than those in a target. If a build setting is assigned different values in the active build style and in the active target, the value in the build style overrides the value in the target. Xcode indicates this by crossing out settings that are overridden by the active build style."

But I agree, with the original poster; this is much more complicated that it needs to be and Xcode obfuscates rather than illuminates IMO.

How do I add the Boost header hierarchy to either XCode

   #include <boost/array.hpp>

in a C++ file in my project, it actually finds that header?

I just can't figure it out. It can't be so difficult, can it? 

I'm guessing you're facing the same problem I did.

The frustrating thing about XCODE is that it has some idiotic defaults
hidden behind innocuous GUI widgets.

If you select, in the left-hand browser, the TARGET you want to build, then
press the (I) icon, you get a tabbed editor window. On one of the tabs
there is a list of name,value pairs which for me was a very short list that
wasn't helpful.

It took me forever to realise that there is a little popup menu in the top
of the list which, if you click it, shows that there are a zillion other
options. One of those specifies "include search paths" or some such.

Thank you for your help, as a result of which it took me slightly less than forever to find this menu :) Thanks also to the others who replied. It's a well-disguised menu, isn't it. Incidentally, the header search path field is available in the Project info as well as the Target info, so I guess you can set up paths for all targets simultaneously.

Cheers,
George
