Hi,
we have the following setup (all Xcode and IB 3):
- An Interface Builder Plugin which handles some custom views
- A framework which implements these views. The plugin is embedded in
the framework's resources folder in the standard way.
- An application which uses the custom views by directly including
the source files. That is, the application does not use or link
against the aforementioned framework. This application includes xib
files which use the custom views.
Now when Xcode compiles the xib files of the application, it
internally starts ibtool (with --compile), and ibtool in turn seems
to need access to the said IB plugin to do its work.
Our problem is that this works on one machine (where the whole stuff
has been developed), but not on another machine (which got it from a
subversion repository).
We have very similar setups on both machines: a shared build folder
for all projects (due to Time Machine), which then contains both the
debug build of the framework with the embedded plugin and the debug
build of the application.
We manually installed the plugin in IB (via preferences) on both
machines to no avail.
Therefore my question: if somebody could tell us how ibtool is meant
to find the plugins it needs for xib compiling, we might be able to
find the difference between the two machines.
I am aware that ibtool has command line parameters to specify
plugins, but they are not used by Xcode according to the build
transcript.
Thanks
Kai
