Hi Bill,

Thanks for the reply.

The uses I'm seeing aren't on external targets, they are for internal
libraries which are built during the build. Is this the same problem?

Pretty much the same problem. A lot of it has to do with static libraries, if you link a target to another target the Xcode way then you can not specify the link order or multiple links of the target that might be required for static builds. I don't want all the complication of trying to special case the shared libraries so the Makefile hacks are used because it is a generic solution.

Also, do you know if anyone has filed a bug with Apple tracking this issue?


I don't think so. There might be some way to do this at this point, I really have not investigated this recently. The basic feature that would get rid of the helper makefiles for targets would be a way to make targets depend on an external file.
