I was using Xcode 5.1.1, Casablanca 2.0.1, cmake 2.8.12.2, openssl 1.0.1g, boost 1.55.0.Īt start we will do everything the same as Casablanca suggest in documentation Setup and Build on OSX. The point of next chapter is to show you that can try cmake -g Xcode with any c++ project which is supporting cmake as a build system. From my opinion the best (and the one?) library for making REST calls from C++. I’ve used it couple times when I was working in Microsoft. I will show you on example of Casablanca project. This means that you can use any IDE ( Xcode, Visual Studio and any other) from this list for any C++ project which supports cmake (cross platform make).

You don’t know what was the relief for me when I found out about Generators in cmake. At first I thought that I should just write some script which will generate Xcode project system from make files. I started to look again what else I need to do and I’ve found this Xcode 4 Code Completion for External Build Projects. But this one was really easy to fix: I create new project with External Build System:Īfter day or two I realized that I do not have IntelliSence in Xcode. After that I realized that I still cannot debug my process. I created new C++ workspace and added all my C++ files to it. And at first of course I realized that there are not so many C++ projects which support Xcode project system.Īt first I tried really rough approach. Anyway, I’m just trying to make a point, that I haven’t used Xcode, cmake, make, gcc and all other related to C++ stuff out of Visual Studio and MSBuild.īecause Visual Studio was showing me for a long time that using IDEs is helpful I decided that I should try Xcode when I got something to do with C++ code. Saying professional because I also played with Borland C++ in Collage. More than that I only used Visual Studio and MSBuild for professional C++ development. For now if you never used Xcode and you want to try it, start your experience from watching video Xcode Core Concepts.Īs I said I’ve never used Xcode before.

My first impression was … weird, anyway I want to spend more time before doing some conclusions. One of them was to find out if this is true or not, that folks are saying about Visual Studio. I always wanted to try Xcode, for various reasons. In these 6 months mostly I was working with JavaScript and Python, but recently I needed to do some C++ development.

Not a long time, especially comparing to how much I spent in Windows. How to use Xcode with almost any C++ project
