First of all, I've never developed with Xcode. I have a project that has been developed by me under a certain environment (Linux and emacs) and now some colleagues that use a different environment will work with me. This is a C++ project that uses CMake.
Long story short:
- I use Linux/emacs. Other developers use mac/Xcode.
- I use the GNU Makefiles generator. They use Xcode generator.
- Everything seemed to work ok.
The problem
Xcode developers will use the executable that appears under the Executables list of the Group & Files window of Xcode. They will configure it by double-clicking and add their tweaks (configuring debugging directories, setting environment variables, but more importantly, setting the arguments of the executable).
When a developer (me) changes the CMakeLists.txt (namely to add a new source file), the XCode developers are forced to re-generate their project and they lose all the configuration mentioned above.
Question: Is there a way to avoid this?
If each Xcode developer constantly loses that configuration I would certainly be the only one using CMake. :(
Thanks for your help!
