Well one change I noticed in recent versions of Xcode is the loss of
support for relative paths in build settings.
For example I used to have in my xcconfig files...
COL_BRANCH_ROOT = ../..
...which was used to populate the following...
COL_OUTPUT_PATH = $(COL_BRANCH_ROOT)/$(COL_OUTPUT)
COL_OUTPUT_INTERMEDIATES_PATH = $(COL_OUTPUT_PATH)/$(COL_OUTPUT_INTERMEDIATES)
SYMROOT = $(COL_OUTPUT_PATH)
OBJROOT = $(COL_OUTPUT_INTERMEDIATES_PATH)
I now have to use...
COL_BRANCH_ROOT = $(PROJECT_DIR)/../..
...to avoid a runtime exception that takes down Xcode (well maybe it
was just a tool behind Xcode that died... need to reproduce it again
to recall).
