Property List Compiler for XCode

Hi XCoders,

if you feel some nostalgia after the CodeWarrior PLC compiler, you might be interested by PList Compiler. It is a property list compiler I have written for XCode. It lets you build localized and non-localized plist files from plc and ploc source files.

PList Compiler is a script that you execute as a Shell Script Build Phase within your XCode project and which takes care of generating automatically the property list files for your packaged applications, bundles, frameworks, plugins, etc.

I have just released version 0.1b1. It is a fully functional beta release: it supports many encodings, preprocessor macros, pragmas, options etc. It has been thoroughly tested but there is certainly room left for improvements, so thank you for trying it and sending feedback.

PList Compiler is a free software. It is also an Open Source Project distributed under a BSD License and hosted on SourceForge.

A help file with complete documentation about the PLC syntax and instructions about the usage of the compiler in an XCode project is included in the distribution. You can also read it online: <http://webperso.easyconnect.fr/bdesgraupes/DocHTML/PListCompilerHelp.html>

For the curious, PList Compiler is written in fact in Tcl (the Tool Command Language <http://wiki.tcl.tk/>): the executable script is a bash script called plcompile which magically redirects the instructions to tclsh - the Tcl shell. Tcl is installed by default on OSX since version 10.3 (Panther) so tclsh is normally present on every MacOSX system starting from this version, and PList Compiler should run out of the box thereon.

The main page for the project is at SourceForge: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/plistcompiler>

Here is a direct link to download version 0.1b1:

There is a users mailing list where any kind of problems about PList Compiler can be discussed. Subscribe here <http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plistcompiler-users>

Please e-mail me any problem you encounter with this software (<email@hidden>)

cheers

Bernard
