makefiles. Does Xcode support this? If so, will it generate the basic
files for me?
Yes and no. An Xcode project can include a makefile-based target, and
it uses the make mechanism to do the building. (In that case you
don't get certain features of the Xcode build system.) Just choose
"External Build System" from the New Project dialog.
The "no" is that Xcode won't write a makefile for you. You still have
to create the makefile the old-fashioned way.
It IS possible to write the makefile in such a way that it is
automatically updated if the Autoconf source changes:
Makefile: configure
./configure
configure: $(autoconfsource)
autoconf $(autoconfoptions) $(autoconfsource)
