I discovered that everything works ok if you build using xcodebuild from the command line. In that case it makes gnc-vcs-info.h from gnc-vcs-info.h.in as it should. However if you try to build using XCode itself it somehow skips that step and later complains that gnc-vcs-info.h doesn't exist. This feels like a bug in either cmake or XCode. I don't think it is worth pursuing since building using scodebuild works. I was using XCode since it seems faster. Since the notes on using SCode say to use xcodebuild I don't think there is anything more that needs to be done. It might be possible to work around the problem, but probably not worth the trouble.

Re: [GNC-dev] XCode build not building gnc-vcs-info
Hey Mike, Actually, I wasn’t trying to offer advice, but seeking information. Like I said I gave up recently on building a fresh version of the GC prerequisites and was perhaps looking for assistance in building them in the case that you had just recently done this.

Re: [GNC-dev] XCode build not building gnc-vcs-info
Thanks, but the dependencies were already installed, and worked fine when I hand-built gnc-vcs-info.h so that's not the problem. I'm not using, and have never used jhbuild so it's not involved. I'm building using cmake and ninja. The result isn't packaged into an application bundle, but it is a perfectly good Quartz application that runs fine. I'm not asking for help since I got GnuCash built and debugged it using XCode. I was just reporting the problem. I probably should have used BugZilla, but I didn't think that was necessary since this has no effect on anything users see. It's just a problem for developers.

Re: [GNC-dev] XCode build not building gnc-vcs-info
Mike, Did you by chance build starting from scratch — i.e. the Gnucash dependencies. I have had miserable luck recently trying to build the dependencies and finally gave up on it. If I remember correctly, when asking for help on building them that, jralls mentioned that recent versions of jhbuild are broken. I tried some workarounds, then finally gave up.

[GNC-dev] XCode build not building gnc-vcs-info
I tried the XCode project on the master branch this afternoon and the build failed because there was no rule to build libgnucash/core-utils/gnc-vcs-info.h. When I copied it from another recent build directory everything worked fine so this seems to be the only problem with using XCode with master.
