When I'm writing code on a Unix or Linux system, I always create
my makefiles from scratch. It's the way I learned to write code.
But when using PODS, I start out with a managed make, as I suggested,
and let PODS modify it. It's a different world. The makefiles
produced by PODS are complicated, and I admit I never figured
them out.
A couple of time, I tried modifying the files used by PODS, and
ended up screwing it up and the builds stopped working, forcing me
to analyze it more and (painfully!) learn how to correct the problems --
just to get the app to compile again.
It wasn't worth it! It's so much easier to to plunk your
source files into the source directory, and tell PODS to include
it in the build. It's really simple, but difficult to find:
right-click on the project name in the leftside list of projects,
and select "Refresh". Then clean/build the project. Simple and easy.
To modify your build, select Properties from the Project menu,
and click through to see how you can set your compile options
and other things.
