Re: Per-configuration target membership and expectations

Before you all spin this debate still way farther than it needs to go, I just want to let you know that we are well aware of the request and the need.

Xcode is designed so that things work best when your project and its dependencies a) are all Xcode projects, b) all use the same configurations, and c) all share the same build directory. Then building and linking to separate Debug and Release versions of a library generated by a dependent project is more or less automatic.

But if you deviate from that, it gets much more difficult, though it's far from impossible. In general Xcode requires the same set of dependent files for all configurations in a target, and while it can automatically pick per-configuration variants by location, it doesn't do as well with, say, arbitrary names and locations for link libraries per configuration. By fiddling with search paths and Other Linker Flags and stuff you can manage it, but it's not as straightforward as you -- or we -- want it to be.

And changing the fundamental architecture of the Xcode project and build model is something that doesn't change quickly or without cost. Please remember that when you bring your expectations to the conference in three weeks.

Chris
