I'm wondering if someone can point me to some documentation or share
some information on using Xcode to manage source for some "non-typical"
(to Xcode) projects.
I've been using Xcode to manage and edit source for a number of
different types of projects, including some html-type (Cold Fusion)
projects and some Oracle scripts. Currently, I'm writing a set of
Oracle and shell scripts to manage a data project (soon to be a suite
of projects). I'm at the point now of having a finished set of
scripts, but I'd like to be able to package (i.e., tar) the appropriate
files so that I can more easily transfer them to the production machine
and run them. My main issue here is that I only need to package up
some of the files and transfer them, and I was hoping to be able to add
just these files to a target and have them packaged (tar'ed) rather
than having to maintain the list of these files separately and by hand.
I'm having trouble finding a way to do this in Xcode, and I'm
wondering if Xcode is built to let me do this.
I've tried using a number of the target types ("External Target" and
"Shell Script Target" under "Special Targets") but neither of these let
me add the files to the target, and my options for adding build phases
for these target types is very limited. The closest I've been able to
come is doing something akin to a makefile, writing a script that tars
the files specified in the script.
Am I hoping for more than Xcode can do right now? And I too far
outside what Xcode is written to do? Is it time to submit an
enhancement request? Or has someone figured out how to do something
similar and would like to share their knowledge or point me to the
documentation of this process that I have yet to uncover.
thanks,
chris
