Question

I’ve been trying to build MailCore with Xcode 4 for the past couple of days, but I can’t seem to get past this one error. Here is the full error:

PBXCp include/libetpan /Users/kicks/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MailCore-drptxcxpvfzzjqhlbxdsrxosqjqq/Build/Products/Debug/include/libetpan
cd /Users/kicks/Downloads/MailCore/libetpan/build-mac
builtin-copy -exclude .DS_Store -exclude CVS -exclude .svn -exclude .git -exclude .hg -resolve-src-symlinks /Users/kicks/Downloads/MailCore/libetpan/build-mac/include/libetpan /Users/kicks/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MailCore-drptxcxpvfzzjqhlbxdsrxosqjqq/Build/Products/Debug/include

error: /Users/kicks/Downloads/MailCore/libetpan/build-mac/include/libetpan: No such file or directory

Ok, so my investigation has led me to think that the problem is in the “Build Settings” under the “Search Paths” section. Specifically, the “Header Search Paths.” I was thinking that the libetpan directory is not found because Xcode is trying to use the default path to look for the libetpan directory (i.e. ${SRC_ROOT}).

No matter what I put in for the Header Search Path, Xcode doesn’t use it and I get the same error.

What am I missing? Is my problem even with the Header Search Paths or is there another setting Im overlooking? I apologize if this is something simple, but Xcode sometimes really eludes me.

This is my exact process:

1. git clone the repository located here: https://github.com/jwatson/MailCore. This is a fork of the original because the original produces a lot of errors and warnings in Xcode 4. I also run git submodule init and git submodule update to install the dependencies.
2. Open MailCore.xcodeproj
3. Try to build the libetpan.a static library.

Any help would be very appreciated!

You find a shell script named “update.sh” in the build-mac directory. Just run it there and it will create all the missing directories and configs.

After that the Xcode-project will build.
