I'll be setting up a cross plaform project soon and I was wondering if
anyone knew of any tools that allowed for cross platform project
definition. On Windows, I have visual studio solutions/project files,
on linux I have make files and on mac I'll be having xcodeproj files.
Having three sets of files that define what makes up library foo and
application bar isn't my choice for sustainability. I looked at open
source projects like Firefox and they seem to use automake/autoconf.
The problem is that my team has found that using the native IDEs yield
great improvement's in efficiency over an editor and a makefile.
Therefore, I'd like to be able to offer a comfortable and powerful
environment for them.
I have looked at cmake and scons as they are cross platform and can
generate the IDE project files (on windows), but I haven't heard that
anything can generate xcode projects. The xcodeproj format is text
based, so it might not be that difficult to generate it on the fly, but
I'd hate to re-invent the wheel, especially working against the clock
of a release schedule.
So, if any of you know of any good tools for generating xcodeproj files
off of makefiles, I'd love to hear about them.
