Hi Reed,
I don't use localhost it is the default and it is better to stick with
the default. The actual expanded display name is tcp/localhost:0.0 (if
I remember correctly). The fields are:
protocol/hostname:display-number.screen-number. The shortest allowed
display specification is ":0".
There are times when a terminal is run and the user's .bashrc, .login,
.profile, .tcshrc or whatever start-up files your shell requires is NOT
executed. I do not know what options are passed to the terminal when it
is launched. You may be able to change them in a preference panel.
Maybe an Xcode expert can say for certain. If the terminal is
interactive (which I doubt) you can type:
$ echo $DISPLAY
to see what the DISPLAY environment variable is set to.
If this behavior persists file a bug report.

Hi Drew,
That didn't do it for me. I'm running tcsh, but adding
setenv DISPLAY "localhost:0.0"
didn't work. It does allow me to run X11 tasks from the Terminal,
which is a neat trick I didn't know about, but it won't bring up my
Xwindows task from Xcode if I try to run it. If I run the debugger
(GDB), then it does bring it up; GDB does a launch from the command
line, and that seems to work for some reason. This should be good
enough for what I need though...I guess it's time I learned how to use
a debugger. :) I'll have to play some more to see if I can convince
it to run the Performance Tools.
Thanks!

Hi Reed,
Put the following line in your .bashrc file:
export DISPLAY=:0
This will tell terminal.app that you are using the Xserver on your
system.

Howdy folks,
I have an Xwindows tool that I am writing, and I really want to use
Xcode to work on it (since it seems so sweet and has nice debugging
tools). I have imported the code, and it compiles just fine through
the Makefile I created (I have it set to treat it as a GNU make
project). When I try to run it, it fails, and the terminal that
pops
up says that the tool can't find an Xserver. X11 is running, and
the
tool runs just fine if I run it from the command line or double
click
it in the Finder.
Does anyone know what I need to do to convince Xcode to run my
program through X11? I looked in the archives, and couldn't find an
answer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Reed
