Hi Glen,
I'm confused as to the exact difference between Build Styles and
Build Configurations, even after reading Xcode 2.1 User Guide > The
Build System > Build Configurations > Upgrading from Previous
Versions of Xcode.
Now if I get info on the Project, I can edit Build Configuration
settings. If I go into the Target, I can see these settings come
through on the Build settings for the target. How is this different
from the old Xcode 2.0 and earlier Build Styles? Is it the
different order in which Build Configuration is applied and then
Target build settings??
Pretty much. Build styles overrode every other setting in the target
so you got used to see those strikethroughs in the panel for the
target. Build configurations are applied differently: First the
config in the project, which itself might be based on an external
config file (very cool feature, unfortunately there is some bug which
crashes Xcode when I try opening a project with such a setting,
YMMV). Then it is overridden by the target settings which again could
be based on an external file. And then you could have settings per file.
To me it makes a lot of sense although I think Apple should change
the templates for targets accordingly. For example I don't see any
reason why a Tool should have special warning settings, they have
nothing to do with the target being a Tool. The targets should just
set those things that are necessary for the target, that would
coincide nicely with the quasi-objectoriented setup of the build
settings...
Greetings,
Dix
