I don't have any good answer for you. I am hoping someone else will
pipe up with the real solution. Mine has been to take the time and
convert the project to a native Xcode one, which has taken me days
sometimes since I'm rather a novice. It is also a pain, because the
maintainers of the regular CVS want everything in terms of config and
Makefiles, which means you have to convert back again to make commits.

I am trying to use Xcode as an editor/debugger for a project which
needs to run on a lot of platforms. This means use of automake,
autoconf, and libtool for the builds, and use of the GNU Make project
type, with an external build target.
Setting the project up, editing files, etc. was easy, but when I got
compile warnings/errors, double-clicking on them was not bringing up
the offending source files, even though they had been added to the
project. After some hard thinking, it occurred to me that Xcode might
not be looking for them in the right subdirectory of the project,
which has different subdirectories for different parts of the library.
Sure enough, when I created a "flat" project with only one directory,
Xcode was able to bring up source files when there were compile
warnings/errors.
So, I'm left wondering if there's any way to find debugging happiness
in this environment. Creating separate, flat Xcode projects with a
single directory each isn't feasible, because there are so many
directories, and managing dependencies between projects would be a
nightmare. What I'm hoping is that there's some setting, feature, or
trick to getting Xcode to be able to know what subdirectory it's in,
so that when an external target is building in a subdirectory, it can
bring up the relevant source file.
Whew. That's certainly a mouthful, I hope I asked my question clearly.
So, is it doable?
Thanks.
