Xcode 4 – build output directory

idexcode4

I have problems with setting up/locating my output files in Xcode4 (beta 5). They are placed somewhere in ~/Library/Developer/ugly_path/.... I can't even select "show in finder" on my products. It is the same for a simple C project, Foundation tool and even Cocoa bundle. A Debugging works fine.

Could you please point me out where and how to set up / build output directories? (I know it sounds dumb, I've been coding in Xcode3 for months, but I can't figure it out in Xcode4 beta).

Thanks a lot.

From the Xcode menu on top, click preferences, select the locations tab, look at the build location option.

You have 2 options:

  1. Place build products in derived data location (recommended)
  2. Place build products in locations specified by targets

Update: On xcode 4.6.2 you need to click the advanced button on the right side below the derived data text field. Build Location select legacy.
