Develop PostgreSQL in XCode

Question

Some months ago I started developing on the PostgreSQL source code on a Windows machine. Developing on Windows worked like charm, especially thanks to Visual Studio.

Since I got a new Mac, I wanted to use XCode for development. However, I don't get it running with PostgreSQL:

How do I create an appropriate project file for developing XCode on Mac and also set all targets appropriately?

Answer 1

There are many different uses for PostgreSQL in XCode

1) One is to link library and start writing apps around PostgreSQL library:

2) Another way would be to create iOS Apps with PostgreSQLKit:

3) Lastly various other assorted projects (including embedding the server):
