/external.pbproj /build/External.bundle /build/Revolution.app /build/components /build/plugins /build/etc /etc
The reason for this layout so Revolution.app can locate External.bundle *and* the Xcode working directory, build/, happens to be a folder where Revolution can find it's license file.
2) Open your external.pbproj file in XCode.
3) Make *absolutely sure* that your target's debugging symbols are ON and optimizations are OFF. This tripped me up badly because the settings look different depending if your target is a legacy bundle or a xcode carbon bundle. Also XCode has a bazillion places to set compiler linker settings. To be sure, do Project menu | Edit Active Target and make the settings there. If you do something else like Get Info on your Project styles- you are setting something else- who knows what :-/
4) Add Revolution.app into your project. Project menu | New Custom Executable. Select Revolution.app (make sure to select the one you copied in your build/ folder)
5) clean & build your external (to get the debug build)
6) Set some breakpoints in external.c or other source files
7) Choose Debug menu | Debug executable. Revolution will launch and then in Revolution you open a Rev stack that loads the external.bundle. The external.bundle used will be the one the build directory. The Xcode debugger already has that bundle loaded and the XCode debugger should be hitting your breakpoints now!
Hopefully having a real debugger should make writing xternals *much* more enjoyable. :-)
