Description : library/tools for parsing/building Xcode projects
The GNUstep Xcode library is a library for building Xcode projects. It
can be used to parse and provide information regarding an Xcode project
or used to build an Xcode project directly. (Description is still WIP.)
* * *
The library (installed as a private library as it won't have any rdeps
for the time being) and the tools (buildtool, pc2xc and pcpg) will be
shipped together in one package bin:xcode-tools. The Ycode.app
application is a still a stub and won't be built/installed.
The buildtool program has an option to generate makefiles, so this
package will be used as a build-dependency for some Debian GNUstep
packages for which we have to maintain GNUstep makefiles manually and
update them with almost every new upstream release (these are apps
written and maintained upstream only for Apple systems).
It will also be useful when exploring potential candidates for packaging
(writing a makefile is trivial but parsing the nasty Xcode project
description is not).
