syntax highlighting
Posted on Fri, 2009-07-10 19:14
programming noobie - having trouble locating exactly where to place Lua.pbfilespec and Lua.xclangspec files. I d/l latest versions of iPhone SDK 3.0 and installed XCode - been working through some XCode tutorials. Now reading through Ansca Getting Started Guide and cannot find correct place (e.g., ~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Specifications/ as indicated in Readme.txt. Pls help. TIA

Thanks for the reply. Followed your instructions, but still does not seem to allow for syntax coloring. Maybe I am expecting something when I shouldn't. When I pull up a recent Main.lua file in Xcode3 and type print, the print command is not highlighted. When I select View, Syntax Coloring, there is no option for Lua - the only options are the ones that come with Xcode (e.g., Ada, AppleScript, Assembly (Intel)...Xcode Text Macro Specification, XML).

I do not have an option for Lua re syntax coloring either. Still works - what is your exact directory path to the Lua.pbfilespec and Lua.xclangspec files - maybe you have different capitalization?

Worked fine for me, check capitalization like drendall said:
~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Specifications/
Also be sure to close and restart Xcode

the files (Lua.pbfilespec and Lua.xclangspec) are located in path:
Macintosh HD/Users/Microcenter/Library/Application Support//Developer/Shared/Xcode/Specifications/
The directory Macintosh HD/Users/Microcenter/ has the Desktop, Documents, etc folders.
Should Xcode have been loaded into one of these folders? I think I have Xcode loaded in:
Macintosh HD/Developer/ folder?
TIA for your help...
I have just done this. Go to your home directory (the one with Desktop, Document etc in it). There will be a Library directory there, with an Application Support sub directory, but it may not have a Developer directory within that (I did not have one). You will need to create the remaining directory structure (make sure names are correct). Worked for me.
