* Attempts to hide all of the infrastructure which you don't need to modify in a make directory.
* Supports linking together multiple C and assembly files. To add a new file to the project, just create a new *.c or *.s file in the project directory.
* Supports a single resource file in your project. Any files included in your resource files are detected in the build and if you change the header, the resource file will rebuild automatically.
* Supports putting your source files in multiple directories. Just make sure to add those directories to the SRCDIRS variable in the root Makefile. Once you add the source directory to the build, any source files in that directory will automatically be build and linked into your executable.

* If you change a header file, the right source files will rebuild automatically. Header file dependencies are generated during the build.
* If you change a macro file used by one or more assembly source files, the right files will be re-assembled automatically. Assembly file dependencies are generated during the build.
* Supports projects types like ORCA shell executable, GUI executable, new desk accessory, classic desk accessory and control panel. In Xcode, when you create a project, you will see options for each of these project types. Select one and you will have a skeleton project which includes enough code to give you a basic "hello world" style application of that type.
* Creates a disk image with your executable as part of the build.
* Automatically launch your application in an Apple //gs emulator on build and run so you can go from coding to testing your latest build as quickly as possible.

* For shell targets, when you build and run, the shell command is executed right in Xcode itself using Golden Gate. You can edit your run scheme configuration in Xcode to customize the arguments passed to your shell command.
* Creates a bootable disk image with your executable as part of the build for non-shell targets. If your target is a CDA, NDA or CDev, the executable is copied to the appropriate place in the System folder. For a desktop application, the executable is in the root of the bootable disk image.
* Automatically launches an Apple //gs emulator when you select build and run so you can go from coding to testing your latest build as quickly as possible.
* C source and header files (including system includes) are indexed. By doing this, code completion and other features of Xcode should work. In other words, you can code complete to a toolbox call for example!
* There is an optional code generation phase in the build. If you want to write some scripts which generate C source files, C header files or assembly files which are then compiled/assembled in later phases of the build, this would let you do exactly that.
* You can copy a directory of files onto the disk image other than just the executable. This is useful if you have other files you need to generate and/or distribute in your project.
