GO PROGRAMMING TIP: Where to put the ‘go.pbfilespec’ and ‘go.xclangspec’ files.

Posted on November 16, 2009 by David Hilowitz

So I was trying to get XCode syntax highlighting support for Google’s new Go language. I had located the two XCode files in the Go SRC package (these were in $GOROOT/misc/xcode), but for the longest time I couldn’t figure out where to put them. I finally stumbled on the answer (thanks to Talamathi for putting me on the right track): The files go in /Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XcodeEdit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

In short, if you want syntax highlighting support for the Go language in XCode, the following should get you there:
cp $GOROOT/misc/xcode/* /Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/XcodeEdit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

Apparently it’s possible to get horizontal split screens in Notepad++. Check it:

scrsh_rotate
