I'm new to Mac development (previously using vim + gcc on Linux), and I've been trying out XCode, but one of my projects I started to test it out requires a .ttf file at runtime to be in the same directory. I've tried adding the file as a resource, but it doesn't run. Could anybody:

1. Help me to get XCode to dump my file into the executable's directory or,
2. Tell me where XCode puts the executable so I can dump it there myself

Thanks,
Jordy

Are you producing something that create a bundle? That would be almost everything but command-line programs. If so, then just adding it to the project and making sure that it is included in your target (done by default), then it will be in your <bundle>/Contents/Resources folder. And NSBundle has a number of methods to help you get a path to these resources (including ones for localized resources).

If you are not creating a bundle then you are going to need to go in and play with your Target. You can get to it under the "Targets" item in the "Groups & Files" pane in the main document window in XCode. You will have to add a new Build Phase item to copy this.

Thanks. This fixed my problem.

I ended up using the second approach. My project doesn't use Cocoa or Carbon, so I imagine I wouldn't be able to access NSBundle.
