Background
I have 3rd party project where all paths were hardcoded to locations on
the person's hard disk and I'm trying to redo the project so that it
can be moved around easily in the future. This project has a couple of
header files that go with it's source files and the 30-40 header files
that go with it's libraries. I've added the headers that go with the
source to the project. I was trying to include the headers that go
with the libraries without having to add them to the project, similar
to the way the system headers work.
When I select "Edit Active target" on the Project menu I get a window
with tabs at the top: General, Build, Rules, Properties, Comments.
Under the Build tab I get a table of values & paths that can be set.
Questions:
1. In the list of settings on the left I have "Header Search Paths",
which is what I believe I want to use. However, it has a line thru it.
Which I would think either means it is not available to use or somehow
it's use is turned off. Does anyone know why some settings have a line
thru them, what that means and if there is a way to remove the line?
2. In entering the path for both the header search path and the library
search path I would like to make these paths relative to the project.
I've seen a number of the environment type defines: $(USER), $(HOME),
$(GROUP).... Where are these defined and how do I know what value
they are set to? Can I create my own?
3. In trying to find the answer to question 2 I've searched the mail
list, Apple Dev Docs (on-line), and XCode help. In all cases if I try
to do a search for "$(USER)" it finds the places where the word "user"
exists, which of course are many and of no value. Any idea of how
search of a literal "$(USER)" in any of these places? (I've tried in
quotes, I've tried in the Advanced search..)
Any help with any of these questions is very much appreciated,
Mike
