The former. I'd use the xcode bundle but I wanted to use Rake to
develop a more generalized build language instead of worrying about
binary XCode projects.

any ideas? I'm happy to work with you on this. take care,

well, i'll describe my workflow a bit and maybe we can come up with something.

rather than replace the xcode project file, i augment it with a series of rake tasks. the xcode project still provides great organization and i'd really rather not try and memorize all those flags/settings adn replicate a lot of the structure it provides. i've just wrapped the xcodebuild tool in some rake tasks which dynamically publish targets and configurations. additionally i have tasks for generating bridge support files and some ruby bits like rspec/mocha/rcov and what not.

i'd like to build a base set of rake tasks into rubycocoa and have the project templates provide you with a stub (much like rails does) as well.


which part of the development cycle did you want to use rake for? building, launching the build product, testing?

cheers,
