However, if you just want to build .app bundles with make then there is no problem. I suspect that it will be a long time before the XCode generation is solved. In the past I have found that it works sufficiently well to have two directories in which you run cmake one of which generates makefiles and the other an xcode project - then you can edit away in xcode then go to the terminal and compile the make files. Having said that, now I just create my own XCode project for developing of OSX then I make a CMakeLists file so that it will build on other platforms.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Hope that helps,</DIV><DIV>Chris</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>PS Some of the demos seem to need to be clicked on before you see any graphics.</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Jul 14, 2005, at 9:53 AM, P Bai wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Thanks both of you for the reply.
