Xcode project for OS X

Could you drop this in the src dir. It could help people build the library on Macs.
charLS.xcodeproj.zip

Hi Bruce,

CharLS currently provides a cmakelists.txt file. This file can be used to generate XCode projects files:

For example:

mkdir xcode

cd xcode
cmake -G "Xcode" ..

It is still on my todo list to copy the build instructions from codeplex to github and I haven't checked if this solution works for the Mac\Xcode.

Adding the xcodeproj file to the source code requires that it is maintained when files are modified (new files, renames, etc.). My preference is to use the CMakelists.txt method and a CI server to ensure the source code can be build on all supported platforms.

Would the CMake alternative a good solution to build CharLS on a Mac environment?

Hi Victor

.xcodeproj is very similar to the Windows .vcxproj. In Xcode, if you change a file name, it will turn red in the project and all I have to do is drag and drop the new file. I have Cmake installed on my virtual Windows machine, but I have not had to install it on the MAC side yet.

Regards,
Bruce

The procedure to build CharLS with Xcode (tested with Xcode 11.3) has been documented in the Wiki:
