Things have been a little overwhelming lately, as they likely will be for the summer. I thought I would post an AppleScript that I use for compiling the Tap.Tools Max objects. It could be easily modified for others who have a lot of of externals to compile all at once.

set project_path_unix to "/Users/tap/Developer/_SVN/TapToolsMax/Max_Projects" 
set project_path to POSIX file project_path_unix as text
set project_folder_list to list folder project_path
set continue_flag to 1
try
  display dialog project_path as text
on error
  display dialog "Yo! Can't get the path for the Max Projects folder" 
  display dialog (dialog reply)
end try

tell application "Finder" 

  repeat with project_folder in project_folder_list
    if (project_folder does not contain ".svn") then
      try
        set project_file_list to list folder (project_path & ":" & project_folder)
        repeat with project_file in project_file_list
          if (project_file contains ".mcp") and (continue_flag is equal to 1) then
            tell application "CodeWarrior IDE" 
              activate
              open (project_path & ":" & project_folder & ":" & project_file) as alias
              try
                Make Project
                Close Project
              on error
                display dialog "There was an error building " & project_file & ".  
                  Try to continue?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
                if the button returned of the result is "No" then
                  --quit
                  set continue_flag to 0
                end if

              end try

            end tell
          end if
        end repeat
      on error
        --display dialog project_folder & " is not a folder - skipping" 
      end try
    end if
  end repeat

end tell
