### Debugging with Xcode on macOS
The `serenity.sh` build script does not know how to generate Xcode projects, so creating the project must be done manually.
To be compatible with the script, a few extra options are required. If there is a previous Lagom build directory, CMake will likely complain that the generator has changed.
```
cmake -GXcode -S Meta/Lagom -B Build/lagom -DBUILD_LAGOM=ON -DENABLE_LAGOM_LADBIRD=ON
```
Alternatively, if you don't need your ladybird build to be compatible with `serenity.sh`, you can use Ladybird as the source directory like so:
```
cmake -GXcode -S Ladybird -B Build/ladybird
```
After generating an Xcode project into the specified build directory, you can open `ladbyird.xcodeproj` in Xcode. The project has a ton of targets, many of which are generated code.
The only target that needs a scheme is the ladybird app bundle.
In order for the application to launch properly through Xcode, the `SERENITY_SOURCE_DIR` environment variable must be set to your serenity checkout in the ladybird scheme, per the
screenshot below. The same is true for profiling the application in Instruments. Future updates might fill out the application bundle such that the environment variable is not required.

### Building on OpenIndiana
OpenIndiana needs some extra environment variables set to make sure it finds all the executables
