This reminds me of a related question. I put all my build products in a
custom folder (i.e., not in the project folder, and not in the final
deployment location). So I set DSTROOT to the path to my custom build
products folder. This is apparently the same thing you say you do at Apple
for your non-final tool frameworks, and I do it with my frameworks for the
same reason.
I recently rediscovered, after much travail, that the DSTROOT path (or was
it the INSTALL_PATH path?) has to be an absolute path. Variables like
$(HOME) are not expanded. Why is this? (I don't believe this is documented
anywhere. I first learned of it in an old e-mail post by Mike Ferris, and
then promptly forgot it. If it has to be this way, it should be documented,
and it should also be mentioned in the help blurb at the bottom of the
inspector/get info window for this setting, so those of us with poor
memories don't waste so much time rediscovering it.)
Shall I head over to Radarweb and post a documentation bug?
