Now I'm curious as to why you're even using Xcode for this project,
rather than just using make or jam as you must be on Linux. What's
the reason for it?
A large number of developers do run very large cross-platform projects
where they manage Xcode and Visual Studio projects by hand. They also
operate under constraints such as always getting clean builds that
pass all unit tests from the main line of development in their source
repository. And so on. The differentiating factor is that typically
in such projects, the developers working on them only expect code to
be built once it's added to an IDE project file, not as a side-effect
of existing in a particular directory. This is in contrast to some
makefile-driven projects, where everything that can be identified as a
source file in a particular directory or subdirectory gets built.
(Other makefile-driven projects work more like IDE projects, and
explicitly state what to build.)
Since it sounds like you're maintaining an environment where you want
to build whatever is in a particular directory, and you already have
an infrastructure for doing so on Linux, the path of least resistance
may be to use the same technique on Mac OS X. Especially if you're
never actually *using* Xcode and are just using it to create project
files to build.
