"github_readme_excerpt": "# Xcode-Build-Server\n\nApple\u0027s [sourcekit-lsp](https://github.com/apple/sourcekit-lsp) doesn\u0027t support xcode project. But I found it provides a [build server protocol](https://build-server-protocol.github.io/docs/specification.html) to integrate with other build system. This is why I created this repo.\n\nThis repo aims to integrate xcode with sourcekit-lsp and support all the languages (swift, c, cpp, objc, objcpp) xcode supports, so I can develop iOS with my favorate editor.\n\n# Install\n\nThis repo requires Python 3.9. The latest macOS already comes with this tool.\n\nAfter you\u0027ve made sure you have Python 3.9, just clone this repo, and add a symbolic link to your bin folder by running: `ln -s ABSPATH/TO/xcode-build-server /usr/local/bin`\n\nHere is a script for quick install if your working directory is your desired destination for the installation:\n\n`git clone \"git@github.com:SolaWing/xcode-build-server.git\" \u0026\u0026 ln -s \"$PWD\"/xcode-build-server/xcode-build-server /usr/local/bin`\n\nor\n\n`git clone \"https://github.com/SolaWing/xcode-build-server.git\" \u0026\u0026 ln -s \"$PWD\"/xcode-build-server/xcode-build-server /usr/local/bin`\n\nor install using homebrew\n\n`brew install xcode-build-server`\n\nor install using [Macports](https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/devel/xcode-build-server/Portfile):\n\n`sudo port install xcode-build-server`\n\n# Usage\n\nChoose one of the following methods. (No matter which method you use, you need to ensure that the directory where `buildServer.json` is created in is **the root/working directory** of the LSP)\n\n### Bind to Xcode\nGo to your workspace directory and execute one of the following commands:\n\n```bash\n# *.xcworkspace or *.xcodeproj should be unique. This can be omitted and the build server will automatically choose the unique workspace or project.\n# -scheme can also be omitted to automatically bind the latest scheme build result. even change it in xcode after the buildServer.json generated\nxcode-build-server config -workspace *.xcworkspace -s",
