You shouldn't need to import the project, then - just opening the .pbprj
file as usual should work just fine.
But One from the list has written that the project builder have had
problems
with pathes!! He said:
One thing project builder is bad at is absolute paths. Example, say on
your old computer you had "/Users/user1/main.m" and on your new
computer it's "/Users/user2/main.m" project builder may not find the
file. Go through each file in your project, if the file is "red" then
you'll have to add it again to your project. When you add files make
sure you select "relative paths".
Actually, that was me. ;-)
If no files are red, it could also be a permissions problem. Did you use
'tar' to package up the project folder and move it to your new machine?
If so, and the login that you used to create the tarball doesn't exist
on the new machine, permissions could be fubar.
To check for this, do an 'ls -l' in a Terminal window, to get a
long-format listing of the folder contents. The columns in the list are
the file's mode, the number of links to it, the owning user, the owning
group, the size in bytes, the last modified date, and the file name. If
the owning user or group is listed as a number instead of being listed
by name, or if the user name listed is not the one you're using on your
new machine, you have a permissions problem.
You can fix permissions with the 'chown' tool. Assuming you want the
files to be owned by a user named 'JohnQ', and the 'staff' group, the
command would look like this:
sudo chown -R JohnQ:staff *
I apologize if this is too basic. For all I know, you may be a 20-year
UNIX veteran who's new to the Mac. If you are, no offense is meant - I
don't know you, and you could just as easily be a 20-year Mac veteran
who's new to the whole command-line thing.
