Xcode Configurations

Use the DreamLispAll scheme to build all the targets which includes the framework, shell and test cases. This scheme is used for making release builds.

Use the DreamLispAll-Debug scheme for development. Since the shell uses readline library the Xcode console won't work properly. Instead this scheme opens the shell in Terminal app. Make sure to enable DevToolsSecurity so that the debugger can attach to the running process.

% sudo DevToolsSecurity -enable
