For automated testing, I'm generating scripts to build files individually, with clang, like Xcode does. The build transcripts generated by Xcode 4.6 typically contain blocks of code, one for each source file in the target, which start like this…
CompileC "/Users/jk/Library/Application Support/Xcode/IntermediateBuildFiles/DynamicMenuWipeout.build/Release/DynamicMenuWipeout.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/StatusItemMenu.o" StatusItemMenu.m normal x86_64 objective-c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler
cd /Users/jk/Documents/Programming/Projects/DynamicMenuWipeout
setenv LANG en_US.US-ASCII
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang …
There are four lines there.
The first line, which begins with CompileC, I guess is some kind of internal command which tells Xcode to generate and run the last three lines to compile the source file.
The last three lines, indented, *look like* lines in a shell script which does the actual building.
The first one, 'cd' is obviously a bash 'change directory' command.
The second one sets an environment variable.
The last one, which I have truncated, is the actual clang invocation.
If I run these three commands in Terminal, it compiles the source file as expected, except it issues a warning that setenv is an unknown command. Indeed, setenv is known in (t)csh but not bash. Assuming there is no need to export this to other wheels, the equivalent bash command would be…
LANG=en_US.US-ASCI
Does anyone know why Xcode would be using setenv? Does Xcode possibly do its work in (t)csh shells instead of bash?
