Hi Jonathan,

Divide your large framework in to sub frameworks and bundle them in a Umbrella framework.

Subject: Building a large framework

I am trying to put together a framework that uses a fair amount of generated code.
At present the target contains some 2800 generated .m and .h files.

I can alternatively generate monolithic output as 1 large (5MB) .m and 1 large (2MB) .h file.

Attempting to add the individual or monolithic files to a standard Xcode project results in endless indexing.

The googlable tips about turning off indexing don't seem to wash anymore on Xcode 4.6.3

Cleaning, rebuilding etc is fairly futile.

So I create an external build system project (first draft of makefile is below).

Now when I add files to the project it whips through the indexing in a spritely manner.

Hopefully the makefile will do the job but it is more tedious to maintain.

I would appreciate any insight on getting standard Xcode cocoa projects from choking on large numbers of input files.

CC=clang

# compiler vars

CINCLUDE:= -I/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/headers/mono-2.0

CFRAMEWORKS:= -F ../../../../../products -F/Library/Frameworks

CVERBOSITY:= -v

CDEBUG:= -g

COBJC:= -x objective-c -arch $(ARCHS) -fexceptions

CWARNINGS:= -Wall -Werror

# link vars

LFRAMEWORKS:= -framework Foundation -framework Cocoa -framework Dubrovnik

LLIBRARIES:= -lobjc

CFLAGS= $(CWARNINGS) $(COBJC) $(CVERBOSITY) $(CDEBUG) $(CFRAMEWORKS) $(CINCLUDE) -c $(SOURCE)

LDFLAGS=$(LLIBRARIES) $(LFRAMEWORKS)

SOURCES = $(wildcard *.m)

OBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.m=.o)

all: $(OBJECTS)

Regards

Jonathan
