I have an ibook and I am trying to start and sdl application on it. I
downloaded and installed your sdl package for MacOS X with panther. I
assume that XCode is the same as Project Builder. So when I open Xcode,
then File->New Project opens a New Project dialog. Judging by the
instructions that come with your package there should be an entry for
SDL application. But I don’t see it. Thus I can go no further.

Hey Mike,
XCode is basically Apple’s overhaul of Project Builder, so in other
words it’s just a better and more capable IDE then Project Builder (at
least most would agree with me). As far as I know the SDL package that
installs templates to be used with Project Builder do only that, only
install the SDL template for new Project Builder projects. I’m not
sure how easily it would be for someone to update this to work with
XCode so for now the best I’d say to do is request an update and hope
for a helpful update :D.
Hopefully that helped,

About a month ago I addressed this, and put together an updated version
of the templates. Little attention was paid because the person who made
the original templates plans to make a more thorough update. Since that
hasn’t yet occurred, use the ones that I made.
The file is stored here:
http://cache.gmane.org/gmane/comp/lib/sdl/11363-001.bin
Decompress it, and put the resulting “SDL” folder into either of these
paths: (you may have to create the “Project Templates” folder)
/Users/phip/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Project
Templates/
/Library/Application Support/Apple/Developer Tools/Project Templates/
One quirk about these templates, you have to add the SDL framework to
your project in order for ZeroLink to work.
