Using an external project.

I would love to use the excellent xcode debugger front-end to help me step through the source to the JamVM project. This is a standard unix command line project, so it has a directory full of C source files, a Makefile, configure script, and the usual stuff. (actually, it also interfaces with the "GNU classpath" library, but I'm not at the point where I have to deal with that just yet)

I have followed the directions I could find from the "Porting Unix applications" document and created an External Target which does seem to invoke the Makefile (though I can't find the output from "make" anywhere in the Xcode GUI), however, the debugger and "Build and Run" commands seem to be greyed out.

Is there more documentation on this topic anywhere? I tried adding a custom executable and specifying the executable from where it is installed after a "make install", and that allowed me to start the debugger but never to do anything particularly useful (i.e., breakpoints don't work, etc), so I'm not sure if that's the right track.


thanks,

Niko Matsakis
