I have created a Mac OS app project in Xcode to draw a simple 2D triangle and it works fine.
However, now I want to build it on command line but I am confused on how to do it as the code is in Objective C and it makes calls to METAL which is implemented in C++.
I have worked with gcc and g++ before.
Can someone please direct me to some command line build tools for this project?
To build Xcode projects from the command line you can use xcodebuild
.
xcodebuild builds one or more targets contained in an Xcode project, or builds a scheme contained in an Xcode workspace or Xcode project.
This tool is included in the Xcode command line tools and has a man page (just execute man xcodebuild
in Terminal) explaining the basic usage.
