-XCode project
--------------
-
-There is an XCode project available in gnucash.xcodeproj at the root of the
-source tree.  This project can be used with XCode on a Macintosh to debug
-GnuCash.  It is not set up to build GnuCash, but only to debug it. Building must
-be done using the normal command line tools.
-
-Note this XCode project has not been updated since the big directory restructuring
-preceding the 2.7.1 release. So it will currently not find source files where
-it's expecting them.
-
-This project is designed to be used with the X Window version of GnuCash, not
-the native Quartz version.  To use it you must build and install GnuCash into
-directories "build" and "install" parallel to the source directory.  Furthermore
-the architecture dependent parts of the install are put in a subdirectory
-"install/darwin".
-
-To build, then, if the source directory is somewhere/gnucash you must create the
-directories somewhere/build/darwin and somewhere/install/darwin/bin, cd into
-somewhere/build/darwin and execute
-
-    ../../gnucash/configure --prefix=../../install \
-                            --exec-prefix=../../install/bin \
-                            --enable-debug \
-                            ...other options...
-    make
-    make install
-
-This will build and install a copy of GnuCash that can be debugged using the
-XCode project.
-
-The debug target in the project is set with a build tool of /usr/bin/true so
-building in XCode won't hurt anything, it just won't do much.  It is also set to
-not launch GnuCash automatically, but rather to wait for it to be launched
-manually. This lets you run it from a command prompt and see the console output
-which can often be useful.  Hence to initiate a debugging session in XCode, tell
-XCode to run GnuCash then go to a terminal window and launch install/darwin/bin/gnucash
-with whatever options you want.  XCode will notice that it has been launched and
-attach to the process.
-
-Since there seems to be no way to make the path to the executable a relative
-path, you must make one change to the debug scheme before you can run gnucash
-under XCode.  In XCode 5 (other versions may be different) go to
-Product->Scheme->Edit Scheme and select the "info" tab of the "Run gnucash"
-pane. Select "Other..." in the "Executable" menu and select the installed binary
-for gnucash in the resulting file open dialog.  This should be
-install/darwin/bin/gnucash as described above.  This, and the act of opening the
-project in XCode, will change some of the files in the XCode project directory.
-You can, or course, commit these locally, but please don't push them upstream.
