I also noticed the same, every git pull start to re-index the entire project and my old MacBook Pro almost die away after that. I use the latest Mac App store version. Additional question : is it possible to actually build WebCore or any subproject (JSC, ...) from XCode so you could get a fancy ui for compilation issues (maybe provided you already ran once build-webkit) ? - Mark ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev -- Alexis Menard (darktears) Software Engineer openBossa @ INdT - Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

As Mark Rowe pointed out in his reply, I recently updated these instructions with respect to changes in Xcode 4.3.2. I've updated the build location instructions on the web site to mention Xcode 4.3.2 instead of Xcode 4 and landed this change in changeset 114978, http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/114978. Also, I've updated http://www.webkit.org/building/tools.html to mention the need to either run xcode-select or set the environment variable DEVELOPER_DIR to point to the developer tools directory before using the Xcode command line tools. This change was landed in changeset 114982, http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/114982.
