I have Xcode "projects" partly created for the first app, but I have not tried it yet for the second app, which I am interested in at the moment. I just got all the automake files working enough to make the second app a runnable program.
So now, my second app can compile and link using automake on MacOS. I run my app, but it does not work right and I want to debug it. Can I use Xcode to debug this app, just like I might use Insight or DDD on Linux?
I did not create Xcode projects yet because most of the code is made up of 20 libraries that would need Xcode projects, as far as I can tell. Can I be lazy a little longer, or do I have to go back and make many Xcode projects before I can debug?
Create an empty project, create a Custom Executable, set it to invoke your app, and point it at your sources. You can launch and run in the Xcode debugger, stop at breakpoints, etc.
