(CCing this to -devel, because it contains some points needing
discussion if we want to have more Fink packages based on Xcode projects)

This does work. If the problem is a shell script not being able to
find the files, it should use different environment variables. For
instance, instead of:
build/aquaterm/foo-whatever
it should look for:
$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/foo-whatever
$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR will be "build/target" with the default pre-2.1
setup, and "build/config/target" with the default 2.1 setup of per-
configuration build directories.
Thanks, this is exactly what is needed (it's build/config on XC-2.1, not
build/config/target, but this is the right thing). I committed a new
version to CVS, but I can't test it on XC-2.0, I'll have to leave it to
Bill and Jens to find out if this works. It works on XC-2.1 in any case.
My response only showed that I understand very little about the
command-line API of xcodebuild. But I am learning: You cannot, of
course, use xcode's internal environment variables in a shell script
that runs xcodebuild (as opposed to a shell script *run by* xcodebuild)
- except as write-only variables transmitted to xcodebuild. So this
cannot be fixed in the present setting.
In fact, it is not clear to me what is The Right Way to do the equivalent of
./configure --prefix=%p
make
make install DESTDIR=%d
using xcodebuild. I suspect that there are many different possibilities,
but no standard way, because there is no standard for the creation of
the project.pbxproj (or whatever the suffix-of-the-week is right now)
file which is the equivalent of Makefile, but not really human-readable
and -modifiable.
For similar reasons, Fink's current incarnation of the AppBundles field
is not really useful, because it makes too many assumptions about the
structure of the xcode build process. It is also not well documented; it
does not say, for example, what path it is prepending, %b as for the
DocFiles field, or %i as for the Files field, or nothing as for the
ConfFiles field (these aren't documented either, BTW). I wasn't able to
use AppBundles in any of the packages that I have looked at and that
produce *.apps: aquaterm, qt3mac, freefem++, texshop, finkcommander.
In any case, I have now checked a new aquaterm.info into CVS that is
supposed to work on Xcode-2.0 and -2.1. It uses "xcode install" to build
and install the application, instead of copying everything by hand.
Jeff, I apologize for playing around with your package, but I felt I had
at least to try to fix it after I broke it :-)
