Question

Is there a way to configure a given target to only compile under certain build configurations?

For example, let’s say I have a simple shell tool that compiles alongside a larger library to test it. Can I set it to compile under the “Debug” build configuration, but not “Release?”

Answer 1

I believe what you need to do is something like

#ifdef RELEASE
 // if we get here it won't compile
 #error
#endif

I know that’s quite dirty, I do apologize – hopefully someone more experience in Xcode/Objective-C will have an answer!
