I've clone a Textmate source code, and build it. When I read some code of Textmate, I found that it's not using a typical Xcode project. So, why is that? The cocoa framework of Apple seems not convenient for developing-not-using-Xcode.

I wonder is there some good work flow for develop cocoa apps on OS X?

Or they did it just want to let us know they're cool?

  • Hi, I'm not saying which build system textmate use, I want to know the develop tools they're using or their workflow. – Loki Nov 12 '12 at 10:28

    @Loki: On OS X, make defaults to cc, which was GCC back when those posts were written and is now Clang. If TextMate does anything differently, it's specified in the Makefile(s). – Peter Hosey Nov 14 '12 at 00:03
