gcc toolchain : Xcode porting. Your opinion.

[cocoa]

I've read a post from Marc Nicholas about the attempt to port the entire gcc toolchain under Xcode on Mac OS X.

As I wrote in another post, I've the entire gcc toolchain running in OS X , but with Eclipse as IDE.

It would be great thing to have Xcode as IDE.

My proposal is to collect here all the various ideas and experiences to be able to make real the use of Xcode as a development platform for nRF51822.

OS X developers, what do you think ? All suggestions are welcome.

Bye!

Hi, I've seen your repo on github. Great work, but I prefer to use a new repository because :

1. a new gcc toolchain based on gcc ARM embedded instead of Codesourcery (As Nordic has chosen to support it and not the other)
2. Codesourcery on Mac OSX is only a great trouble, as this toolchain lacks of S3 Mentor libs)
3. Nordic has released new linker scripts for gcc ARM embedded.
4. The idea is to create an xcode plugin for gcc ARM embedded
5. I think bitbucket offers a great git/mercurial client and more choice than github (but I don't want to fire up a religion war about a source control sw)
