You've stumbled into the main concern for vo developers. XCode has
gotten better with each successive release, but it still has a way to
go (last I checked) Honestly, you've managed to do more with it than I
ever did, but then again, I gave up trying after snowleopard was
released. All I can tell you is that there are alternatives to XCode,
but they come with their own set of issues. If you do manage to get
XCode to behave properly, I'd be interested in hearing how it was
done. I pretty much gave up developing for osx entirely other than a
few terminal apps here and there precisely because of the horrible vo
support in XCode and the shear amount of work required by other
methods. Honestly, the only way to develop for osx (imo) is via java,
since it happily takes care of the whole gui environment for you.
However, since apple's support for java keeps fluctuating, and sun and
apple seem to be at odds over who/how java should be handled on osx,
I'm not sure java will remain a viable option much longer either.
<sigh>
Lately, I've gone back to linux for about half of my computing usage.
I switch between osx and linux depending on what I'm doing at any
given moment. I honestly thought osx would be my 100 percent os there
for a while, but the lack of support for vi programmers has really put
a crimp in that for me, so I'm a dual osx/linux user again, and I'm
happy with that. So, if you do manage to get osx to allow you to
build a program from start to finish, and you can do so without
sighted assistance, and you can make it look the way you want, by all
means, let me know, at that point, it may be worth it for me to take
another look at osx for development, but until then, I'm staying with
my linux/osx combo.
