Build Styles???

Hello,

I must not be understanding something here? There are two default "Build Styles" set up in Xcode: Development and Deployment. Switching between these does not change where the compiler puts intermediate files, nor does it change the output file name or path. I am trying to make heads or tails out of all of these default path names (BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR, SRCROOT, INSTALL_PATH, etc...), and trying to tell which one(s) need set differently between build styles. I can't help but thinking I must not understand something. Why wouldn't this happen as the default?

The way it is set up, I could clean and build my app using the "Deployment" build style, then switch to "Development", change one file, and that would be the only one with debug in it. Not a bad option, but not what I would assume to be the default. I shouldn't have to clean every time I switch build styles. Right?

I've tried a half dozen different approaches, one that appends a 'd' on the end of the product names (PRODUCT_NAME=$(value)d). One that sets the symbols root differently on each style (SYMROOT=$(value)/Debug or SYMROOT=$(value)/Release). Neither one worked great and had different problems with each.

How is this supposed to be done?

P.S. On another note, I think it would be much more powerful if Target settings came after Build Style settings (which come after Default settings). This would allow most targets to use the defaults from the build style and below, but some to override it or expand upon it. I don't believe you would lose any functionality. To allow for backward compatibility, it could be a setting on the build style whether to apply before or after target settings, or have the build styles have pre AND post target settings.
