[Qt-interest] Qt 4.8 and XCode 4.2

[John Weeks]

I hate to agree with Thiago :) and I hate to extend this thread...  but part of the problem here I think is Apple's tendency to make changes that aren't backward compatible, and aren't documented.

One of our engineers went to heroic efforts to write a script to patch up the Xcode project generated by qmake to fix some aspect that wasn't handled by qmake (I think it had to do with a Run Script phase). He had to reverse engineer some aspects of the project in order to do it. It took a lot of effort because it is clear that Xcode projects aren't intended to be generated and modified by third parties. And now, of course, Xcode 4 breaks  it.

I am sure from this experience that the qmake maintainers had to reverse engineer the Xcode project file in order to create one.

After you've fixed things few times, only to have Apples latest whiz-bang break it, I can see where using Creator looks like a viable alternative. And with Creator you can see the contents of a QString in the debugger...
