I usually create an empty project, add the source files I care about, and then attach to the appropriate renderer process - but also use WebCore.xcodeproj directly on occasion. I run the same version as you and once ran into an infinite indexing cycle, but after a swift kick from Activity Monitor, I haven't seen it again. Xcode works great as a gdb front end for me. _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
