I want to generate a Makefile from an existing Xcode project on the Mac. Specifically, an existing iPhone, Objective-C program on the Mac.

I found PBToMake, but it looks like it is for Xcode 2.1 and when I tried using it, it did not work for an Xcode 3.1 project.

objective-c xcode macos makefile

It's not an automated way of generating a Makefile, but I found it at least gets a list of source files that are built for a target.

I'm using Xcode 4.0.2 in this case..

select the project top node
select the target in the target list.
Choose "Build Phases"
Open the "Compile Sources"
Select one of the source files
PRess Command-A to select all
Press Command-C to copy
Paste in your favorite text editor and Regex away to restructure.

The pasted output is FULL pathnames to each source file.
