While creating a build from X-Code, if by any reason the build fails, what would be probable reasons?

Xcode Setup Guide

Step 1 -- Install the Xcode
Step 2 – With the help of open Frameworks

Xcode 10.7.2, 4.0 Notes and 10.8 Issue
Xcode is free of Apple gcc based IDE for OS X. We can downloaded it from the Center of Apple Developers -: https://connect.apple.com, though We have to be registered with an apples developer. Registration is relatively painless and free.
Once we are logged in, choose the link in the for Center of Mac Dev.

Now Download the updated version of Xcode 3/Xcode 4.
Note: Presently there are two distincts versions of Xcode to Xcode 3 and Xcode 4 ( for Lions ). We recommended Xcode 3 as Xcode 4 are still quite buggy and not as simple to navigates but open Frameworks does activity for both.

After the download completion, climb the installer and execute the package of XcodeTools. Click via the installer till we look the options for customize. 
 
Click on it. This provides us the options to skip definite parts of the installation. If we are short on disk space we shall possibly like to skip the 1.4GB of documentation of developer.
It is also recommended that we test any boxes that point assist for older version of OS X ie 10.5/ 10.6 etc.

The installation begins with installer:


The installer of Developers Tool will have installed a folder name which is called Developer from the root (deepest level) of our harddrive. The Xcode applications are located at given below location: /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app

Now the Xcode has been installed successfully on our PC, it is the time to test out the examples of openFrameworks.
Note: these largely instructions apply to Xcode 3. For differences in Xcode 4, test out the notes of Xcode 4, given below:
First Download the openFrameworks - examples from the download sections of such sites. Once unzipped and downloaded, placed the folder in an proper locations on our hardrive. Unzipped, the content of the folder should look like as below:

Download the openFrameworks
Download the openFrameworks
Such examples are situated within the folders of examples. Within each and all examples folder are an projects of Xcode files (e.g. graphicsExample.xcodeproj) such file will open the project of Xcode for that examples.
When the examples opens in Xcode, you will see a list of files in the left column and the content of the currently selected file (in this case ofApp.cpp) in the appropriate panel.

The first point we will probably like to do is to compile and execute first the apps to confirm it works. Along with the top of the Xcode window with us, we should realize a button named Build and execute (with a "Play" button if with Xcode 4). Such buttons will compile the examples apps. Assuming there is not any bugs, Now it should then launching the apps successfully. If we acquire a ton of bugs on the first compile, try to going with the Build menu and choosing the "Clean All Targets", then try again compiling.

Once the apps are executing -- we can end it by hitting the "Esc" key on our keyboard.
While the apps are compiling we shall announcement a little circular progress meter on the right corner bottom of the window of Xcode. This indicate the percentage of the compiled files.
The yellow triangles and the number next with it indicate the numbers of warning messages from the compiler. Most of the time we can dismiss the warning message; if we would want to see them, Just click on the triangle and Xcode will open a separated windows which will display them as any list.
If the compiler searches bugs in our code, the compiler will neglect and we will see something like this in the corner of right hand bottom of our window of Xcode.
As with the messages of warning, to view the bugs just click on the red circle and then Xcode will come up a new window where it will lists the bugs and attempts to highlight in the code line where the bugs generated.

Bear in brain that the bug messages might not always make sense to us, but mostly just displaying us where the errors are sufficient for us to recognize where the error are.
For an example, in looking at highlighted line given above, it is rather simple to view that we forget to put a coma's between frabk.tff (the name of font We liked to load) and 32 (the size we liked to font to be).
If we insert the decent comma, both bugs go away and the apps compiles and launches perfectly.

Mostly useful feature of Xcode is the Console Debuging. This is a console that will provide us feedback about our apps during it is executing.
To turn on it by default, go to the Preferences → Debugging, and choose On Start: Display Console. Then Debug the Console will now start automatically when we compile and execute our applications.
When the apps launches, the first thing is that print to the Debug Console is quite as below:
[Session started at 2013-02-25 15:36:07 +0200.]
When the apps exit, it will print quite like below
Program will be exited with condition value : 0.

The useful point about the Console Debugging is that we can print it out to it while our apps are executing. Just view the of Log functions for detail. If there is openFrameworks related message or error, they should be written here as well.

The application that you are executing or compiling with Xcode is placed in the path folder of bin/ each project directory. You can always run the directly of applications by double clicking on it. Everything will be the same as when you establishes it with Xcode exclude you wouldn't to see the result of Debug Console.
Spaces name of folder in main project: For some ground Xcode freaks out if our main projects folders (the one that includes the app and libs folders) have spaces into the name.
It will provide the errors for linking, meaning it can not search definite libraries in the folder of libs.


The name of folder above, with the space between 'apps' and 'my', will provide us all types of problem. Replacing the spaces with the dashes or attaching the space as mentioned below will support happy everything.
