Well, maybe I'm just too confused by the interface of Xcode on this
point. Let me specify exactly what I do:
In the list of files (outline view), I select one of the two targets.
Then the detail pane shows a list of files, and the last column
contains a check box; most of these boxes are checked, but not all of
them.
These are different lists for both targets (though there is a lot of
common files). Some files are present in one list, not in the other,
and vice-versa.
Now if I try to uncheck "mainTool.m" in one target, then it becomes
unchecked in the other one, too. But it is still present in the list.
Since you suggested to try other files, I unchecked "main.m" in the
GUI target; switching to the other target, I see it is not even in the
list; switching back to the first one... it is not here anymore!!! So
apparently I got "mainTool.m" in both targets, "main.m" in none, and
there is no simple way to put it back in place (drag and drop from the
list doesn't work).
After some tries I have discovered that changing the active target
WITH THE POPUP MENU give lists which are more like one could expect.
And then you can check and uncheck in a natural way...
So, could anyone explain exactly what are the files shown in the
detail view if you select a target in the outline view (not the
popup)? Is is true that the last column's checkboxes indicate that the
file belongs to the target (the selected one or the active one?)?
(This is not so clear because there is no title or tooltip on the
column headers, just icons.)
What is confusing you is that the checkmarks next to the files
represent inclusion in the *current target*, not in the target that
they are spatially "under" in the outline view.
Pick target A from the "Current Target" pulldown menu in your toolbar,
and check the Target checkbox on the file under Target A.
Then pick Target B from the "Current Target" pulldown in your toolbar
and uncheck the checkbox of the file under Target B.
Now switch back and forth between targets using the pulldown menu. You
should see the check marks come and go.
Important thing to remember: Selecting a target icon in the Groups and
Files list does not, in and of itself, make that target current, The
current target is the one with the green badge on it, and the
checkmarks refer to whether the files checked are included in it.
This may seem counter-intuitive, but for people coming from the Code
Warrior environment, it's the way that environment works, too.
