File missing in Xcode 4.6.1 #1

Closed Talie closed 11 years ago

Tried to run the Puzzles.xcodeproj in Xcode 4.6.1 but it failed - missing file 'list.c'. Is the file required or is it indicating it doesn't work in this version of Xcode?

(excuse me butting in: I didn't have anything to do with this port, but I know the original codebase well)

This is an artefact of the Simon's original build system: you have to run 'mkfiles.pl' on the command-line first, in the top of the source tree. This auto-generates list.c from the selection of available puzzles (and also creates the makefiles for the standard command-line cross-platform builds). Once I'd run that I was able to build and run the puzzles from the Xcode project. I'm completely new to Xcode, so I don't know whether it could be made to run that automatically (e.g. if list.c didn't already exist).

Thanks James, that is of course the right answer here. I think what I'll do is add the autogenerated 'list.c' file to the repository, so all the pieces are in place. This is consistent with including things like the generated per-game icon files needed for the iOS build.

Thanks all, it's working.
