How to share cinder projects in Xcode

One great strength of Cinder is being able to have the project files anywhere in the folder structure of our machines, but that can cause problems when many of us are working on a single project together. That’s particularly important when sharing a project via git, as we don’t want to change the build settings after every pull.

Here’s the solution we use in XCode:

Set the CINDER_PATH in the build settings to $(CINDER_PATH_$USER) and then add a user-defined setting for each user name, like:

$CINDER_PATH_tom
$CINDER_PATH_robert

This way we can preserve settings between commits and not get in anyone’s way, without requiring the same Cinder path for everyone.
