compatibility with linux

Open amitu opened this issue 12 years ago • 1 comments

I am trying to get this project working on ubuntu. I am stuck on plutil call in project.rb. There is a libplist project that provides plutil, but it seems to be not compatible with plutil on mac.

Do you know if it can work on linux, I am not interesting in actual building of project, just adding/removing files to project.

At the current time xcodeproject only compatible with OSX. As you rightly said, the plutil utility imposes this restriction. It performs a single task, converts old plist format (not xml) to json, which can easily parse from Ruby. So, to add support for Linux, you must either use a utility similar to plutil, or any other way to convert the contents of a project file to json format.
