Right!
We build Valentina engine, and single Valentina product as "Valentina for
RB" contains at least 4 dependent projects.
Guys, it simply glitches (although XCODE 2.4.1 do job better).
VERY OFTEN when I build top project for RELEASE,
I get link error that some debug_xxx lib of dependent project not found.
To fix problem I need open that project -- ATN! -- on open it show DEBUG
config, then switch it to RELEASE, or do switch DEBUG->RELEASE in top
project.
This simple glitch give big headache.
Also it is weak idea that all dependent projects must have the same name of
targets to allow link them. Both CW and Visual allow me have different
names.

Aha. and ...
The most nasty thing about XCODE / GCC for me!
Anybody have see that if you get only a modified HEADER(s) from CVS or just
go into some header and change some line, click BUILD and ... Nothing.
This is terrible.
We are forced do full rebuild so often like we NEVER did in CW or Visual.
Taking into account "cool" speed of GCC this is not pleasant.
How it is possible that compiler do not see modified header?
-----
Another FEATURE REQUEST:
* we have SCRIPT in target.
Will be good to have in contextual menu option "run script".
Because how force it to execute otherwise?
I was need run script many times while developing and testing it.
