Xcode4 and symlinks in build directory
I apologise if this is not the correct place for this post yet there does not seem to be a dedicated forum for xcode besides behind a pay wall.
First off I have xcode 4.0 Build 4A304a from the MAS, yet the MAS disagrees with me and will not let me install the update; so I do not know if the following is fixed in that version.
If you create a xcode4 workspace and project using the default configurations (for example a C command line application), when you archive it then xcode4 moves the binary and creates a symlink. This seems fine as it is doing what the docs state, in that the build directory contains the binaries or symlinks to them. The problem is the symlink is invalid. By default the symlink is created in
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SolutionName-SomePostfix/ArchiveIntermedia tes/SolutionName/BuildProductsPath/Release
and points to
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/SolutionName-SomePostfix/ArchiveIntermedia tes/SolutionName/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/usr/local/bin/SolutionName
Yet there is no InstallationBuildProductsLocation so an invalid symlink is created, this does not happen when you skip install as it creates a valid symlink then. Is there a setting missing from the default configurations, is this xcode4 bug or was it an xcode4 bug which is fixed in the updated version.
Thanks
