I use a previous Xcode 3 project and built it successfully on the Mac SDK 10.6.

What I don't understand is that not any executable is generated :

  • I've look at the scheme and Run is checked,
  • the path to the executable I selected the previous executable for the run and then deleted that old executable to be sure that the new will be built.

Strangely, no executable is built.

Xcode 4 changes the default build location. It's no longer going into $(SRCROOT)/build, but ~/Library/Xcode/DerivedData/... where ... is a project-specific folder. Right-click the executable in Xcode and choose "Show in Finder".

Well ... no DerivedData could be found, the only thing I've got was in "../mySoftwareName/buid/mySoftwareName.build/Release/mySoftwareName.build/Object-normal/i386/ where I found a console icon exe that 'seems' to work but I had to add nib and plist files to run it. Is that normal ?
AFter many searches, found DerivedData by hand (finder didn't) but no exe ; 2 Errors appears now (????) : the pkg was missing so I copied one from the old build and now stucked with "ld : file not found" how these are linked
Good answer. However, for Xcode 4, the build directory seems to have changed to: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/your-project/Build/Product/Debug. Not sure why they keep changing it...
@Hassan: hopefully the "show in Finder" menu item still works :)
@GrahamLee It does. That's the only way I was able to find it.
