[GEM-dev] Xcode building instructions?

[ben at ekran.org]

hello all, (Jamie & Chris in particular)

I'm trying to build gem from source on OSX. I'm using Xcode 1.1 on 10.3

What is the difference between the gem project file and the sit compressed
version? I'm using the non-compressed one.

The GemLibs in CVS does not match the GemLib folders the project asks for
(freetype + FTGL missing) Is the CVS GemLibs not up to date, or are these
OSX specifc changes?

Second there seem to be a lot of absolute pathnames (Users/cgc/...)
Is there an easy way to convert these all into relative paths? here is the
error log of my first (second actually) build attempt:

A build readme would be nice in CVS, I'll contribute one if someone helps
me figure it out! ;)

Thanks
Ben

PS: Cyrille is looking for an up to date gem binary.
