[Qgis-developer] New Script for plugin generation in Mac Os X

[William Kyngesburye]

I guess I'm assuming that all Qt-related sources are at the top level of the plugin, that's standard for the plugins so far.  Subfolders are usually used for stuff like a bundled supporting library.  I guess it can be helpful to organize a plugin with a lot of sources and ui's.

ls can list subfolders with the -R flag, though files are grouped by subfolder with noise that's unhelpful.  If you want ui files in a subfolder, stripping the paths is not good because the uic command won't know where they are ;)  It would be better to cd into the ui folder first, just change the 'cd' line and leave the ls command as is:

cd ../../src/plugins/$TARGET_PLUGINDIR/myuifolder

All derived sources within a target get dumped into the same DERIVED_FILES_DIR which is automatically added by Xcode to all target compilation, so your sources will still find them to #include.
