Just out of curiosity, which compiler do you use? Default in xCode 3.x is GCC but xCode 4 uses both LLVM (which produces faster code in some cases (well most cases)). Can XBMC be built with LLVM 2.x or even 3.0 (xCode 4.2)?
Thanks!
Hey Konrad,
I actually tried building with LLVM 2.0 and build process fails. It even fails when using LLVM GCC 4.2 instead of standard GCC 4.2.
So I guess we have to wait for that a little longer. By the way: I had lots of trouble with LLVM when submitting my iPhone Apps to iTunes Connect. Sometimes the build was released without error, BUT I got many negative feedback with incompatible devices and / or firmware versions. And other times the build with LLVM was rejected because of crashes I couldn't reproduce, while the same code built with LLVM GCC didn't make any problems.
So, long story short: I am keeping LLVM GCC as my default compiler. LLVM 2.0 and 3.0 are still very buggy.
