I'm working on a cross platform project that uses several open source libraries such as zlib.
When configuring for Linux I simply run the ./configure from a shell. On Windows I can do this from a MingWshell, but what do I do when building for OSX and iPad?
My cross platform code is C/C++, and on OSX/iPad, I have a thin Objective C layer. I use XCode to build my project for OSX and iPad
I tried running ./configure from a Terminal on my Mac, but this fails with this message:
chekcking wether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/Users/[...]/zlib'
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
And basically it doesn'tmake sense to run the script from a Terminal, because I'm not going to use gcc to build anyway, but XCode.
So the short version of my question: how do I run an open source configure script, so that it configures the code to build in XCode for both OSX and iPad?
