As you can tell I'm using rake 0.7.3 - also on Mac OS 10.4.11

any ideas ?

Duhh....


I ran Xcode for the first time (installed it ages ago, but had never
opened it) and then tried the rake again - works a charm

Hi,

Sorry I hadn't replied yet, I just now see your message...
Anyways, I'm glad you were able to resolve this yourself.

The reason this happens is because we use the preferences that the user
has set in XCode.app for the build dir, some people like to keep the
builds
in the source dir some people like to have one big build dir where all
projects
get build.
But of course the default preferences file is only created when XCode
is launched for the first time.

So this is actually somewhat of a bug.
We should either assume the current working dir (the source dir) or
we could warn the user that he/she has to run xcode once.... Any ideas?

Cheers,
Eloy

Hi,

You could use a Makefile and run make. Skip xcode completely.
