iphone-info.plist "only read"

[ampos]

Can GLB ignore the file "iphone-info.plist" if the flag "only read" is set?

I mean, for next version of GLB.

Currently, GLB always overwrites such file, so it has to be modified each time we compile in xcode.

If my idea is set, we can compile in GLB, change content from xcode, set the "only read" in win, et voilà! no more changes

That would be nice!

oh. You compile directly from the XCode directory? I used an scp job to copy things over. Will it overwrite even with readonly flag set? Very strange. I'll fix that.

I'm totally fed up with having to reset the iOS to 4.1 (and RELEASE) everytime I use XCode - if this solves that niggle then I'll be an even happier bunny.

Yes, I do. I tried the macro-thing on GLB, but it didnt work for me.

Anyway, GLB compiler could ignore any file with "read only" flag. Doesnt matter if compiler give back an error... as Ian said, it is a pain to change also the "use 4.1 SDK" thing each time you compile. I didnt mention it because I dont know where in the xcode files this setting is saved.

If the readonly thing can not be done, maybe a "ignore this files if they are present" could do the job.

Speaking of easy compiling, I use a USB drive by copying over the whole xcode project folder and then opening it and compiling up the xcode project on the mac. Then unplug it from the mac (ignoring errors) and leaving xcode (to keep frameworks and settings), plug it back in to the pc and compile for iphone again, hit the green macro which I have set to copy only 2 folders. Back over to the mac, clean and compile....easy! It's not too much of an issue moving the usb drive back and forth. I discovered this method when my network was playing up.

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


:: dos cmdprompt J: is USB drive
xcopy %GLB_PROJ_PATH%\XCode\GLBasic\Lib\libPROGRAM.a J:\\XCode\GLBasic\Lib\ /Y
xcopy %GLB_PROJ_PATH%\XCode\GLBasic\iPhone.xcodeproj\project.pbxproj J:\\XCode\GLBasic\iPhone.xcodeproj\ /Y

OK, will do. I won't overwrite existing files in the next version.

remember to overwrite "main" file

I have to be honest I don't find this an issue. I am networked between mac and pc. I compile glbasic as necessary and then copy Xcode file to mac, excluding the media folder and project file. If you leave to finder windows open on mac it's very quick.

[ampos]

Yes, it is very quick, but a bit anoying. Each time you compile: open info.plist, modify 2 lines, save, edit "use base sdk" to "4.1", save and build.

If you need to test something (like multitouch) on a real idevice, you have to make all this way everytime. I did it yesterday a ton of times.

I just ask if it could be done. If so, I will be happy. If not, I could live without it.

Anyway, thanks Gernoit for your efforts.

Try to get the ssh connection running. That way you can click on the green macro, then hit compile on the mac and it runs. It's really a lot faster then on Wiz in my case. Just click, click, click runs.

You might have your Mac and pc networked, but not everyone does.

I can't leave my Mac on as I use it through the family tv. I don't have Parallels or any other Virtual Machine or spare copy of Windows anyway. I have to compile on pc, use a USB drive to transfer the GLB project to Mac and run XCode - I would use the Mac IDE, but it's currently slower than the whole process I just mentioned.

Then I have to alter the Base SDK and click RELEASE - every single time I want to test an app on my iPod. yes it's no big deal, and a minor niggle, as I originally stated, but it's one that looks like it could be sorted easily. maybe. If not, well we'll have to put up and shut up.

I have my Mac on & in a window in pc using vnc so I have not to have 2 monitors. Just an idea, Ian.

No can do - I'm using a laptop.
