OpenFrameworks setting for latest xcode_How can I make a new project?

I started OpenFrameworks for fun :D

However, setting OF in Xcode is little bit confusing.

According to web search, just copy and paste Example and edit that project.

It is little bit uncomfortable since workspace location is restricted.

Now I am curious is there any tutorial which start with xcode - [new project]?(I mean xcode UI)

So I can make OF Xcode workspace anywhere I wanted.

A Link can be very granted.

Thanks for answer:D

PS. If you do not mind please attach answer as answer section, not in reply, so I can close this question.

Solution

  • I'm a bit confused on what you mean with workspace location is restricted, do you mean that the location where you can put your project is limited?

    Generally all projects in openframeworks are being put inside the apps folder of openFrameworks. Technically it is possible to take a project out, but it's not recommended.

    You can both have a structure like this:

    openframeworks/apps/myApps/myNewSuperOfApp

    or 

    openframeworks/apps/someProject/myNewSuperOfApp

    Copying the example is one way of creating a new project, but a easier way (sometimes) is to use the project generator that you find in projectGenerator_osx

    You do not want to create an empty project in xcode and, then add openframeworks to it. The projects that are generated with the project generator (or the examples) have a lot of settings that are needed in the xcode project for them to compile with openframeworks. It's not something that you easily can add to an empty xcode project.
