where is $PATH set in xcode?

Question

It looks like xcode\'s $PATH environment setting is different from my user shell environment.

Where does xcode get the $PATH setting from and what\'s the best way t

Answer 1

In Xcode 5 you can add your PATH as a variable to either a target or the project settings.

1. Add a custom variable with the +sign on the top of the page
2. Edit the name of the variable to be PATH and add your preferred value (e.g. /usr/local/bin for a default install of homebrew.

Answer 2

XCode gets its environment variables the same way as other OS X processes, from ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.

Check developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html for details on how to set things.

Answer 3

if you're writing a Run Shell Script build phase, you can just do:

PATH=${PATH}:/opt/local/bin

or whatever inside the script content.
