OK, this is real basic, I think, and I even think I've done it before. But it's not working now, and searching this list and google didn't solve it for me. So I must be missing something or other really obvious. Sorry, but:

How do you create dependent projects?

Just to be clear: what I mean by that is that clicking "Build All" in one of them (the "parent") causes the other one ("child") to be built, as well as the parent stuff.

I think the answer is "you drag the child project and drop it onto the parent object."

But I must be doing something wrong, there, because I've done that a bunch of ways, and none of them achieves the goal. Some don't do anything at all, others seem to get close, but bottom line: building parent does not build child. Grrr.

My closest approach to date:
1. Open an Xcode window onto each of the two projects
2. Drag the "child" project icon (the blue Xcode document symbol) from the "child" Groups & Files list
3. Hover over the "parent" project icon, noting that it turns blue and hungry
4. drop
5. The usual "add stuff" sheet appears, asking such questions as
- Copy items into destination? (answer provided: no)
- Reference type: (default)
- Text encoding: (unicode)
- Recursively create groups (gray, selected)
- Add to targets: ("All" is checked)
6. This causes the "child" icon to appear at the top of the G&F list for Parent, which seems goodly
7. This does not cause anything to appear inside the parent's "All" target/group
8. And, as I say, there's no build chaining


I tried dragging the child Xcode-doc icon into the target All, but it never looked hungry, and dropping did nothing.
