Avogadro OSX Port Question

Hello,

I am wondering if anybody has gotten compilation of Avogadro to work using
XCode? I would like to study the program by stepping through the code and
learning how to do it using XCode would really help. To my knowledge
Avogadro was compiled using CMake but I am unfamiliar with debugging in
CMake…

I am using XCode 3.2.1 on OSX 10.6.8

Thanks!

Hi,

CMake has multiple generators, including an XCode generator. This is
part of the reason that CMake was chosen - it can generate MS Visual
Studio solution files, XCode projects, etc. You can run cmake-gui and
point it at the source and build trees, click configure and choose
XCode.

I never got on with XCode, and so can’t help you much after that. I
also know that the latest version of XCode made some major changes and
likely doesn’t work yet. I use Qt Creator and the CodeBlocks generator
on Linux and Mac all the time.
