Today I upgraded from Xcode 2.0 to 2.4. It was not a trouble-free
upgrade, I'm sorry to say.
My application is a 'terminal' app - it makes no use of any OS
resources other than memory allocation. This is so I can easily
transport the code between MacOS, Windoze, and Linux. Thus, I expected
no problem when moving this relatively undemanding app to 2.4.
After doing the installation and booting Xcode 2.4, I started getting
random "Internal Error" messages indicating that some object was
expecting a nonzero field, but was finding a zero field. When I tried
to build and run my app (ignoring the periodic non-fatal Xcode 2.4
internal error messages for the moment), the build completed
successfully but it didn't boot into a "pseudo-terminal". Instead, I
got the familiar "Internal Error" message.
After poking around and figuring out a tiny part of what Apple has
actually done in moving from 2.0 to 2.4 (thanks for
the poor-quality release notes!), I found that build products for the
development phase now go in their own subfolder called 'Development'.
However, in the initial Xcode 2.4 project (built by Xcode from the 2.0
project), there was a folder WITH NO NAME that corresponded to the new
/build/Development subfolder that was automatically created by Xcode
2.4. So, I renamed the unnamed folder to Development, and was able to
build and run within a pseudo-terminal successfully. I also don't get
any more "Internal Error" messages. I suspect that the initially
unnamed 'Development' folder was causing the Xcode 2.4 internal errors.
I'm surprised that such a simple problem could have escaped Apple's
regression testing (assuming that
they did any :-) Thank goodness that everything else seems to be
working normally now (my app's own regression tests all passed
successfully, and I've done one new build cycle without any anomalies).
Good Luck!
