Re: Buildtool : other attempt to build a ported app : the Bean.app example

I'm working on a fix.

No, this is a problem with buildtool.  Sometimes xcodeprojects (especially old ones) have some issues with the paths that are assigned to resources.  Apparently one of my recent changes for another project broke building for Bean.   Just FYI, current Xcode can't build Bean.

As I can see, it does not run 'slowly', but fails to run...

My attempt is not to use Bean, but just to learn how to use buildtool, and I chose Bean because it was in the gap, so I thought it should be easy to make... Obviously, it is not.

Here is a debug report :

So maybe Bean is not a good example to test and understand buildtool.
Is there any other example well tested by the community I could try ?
