building externals fails

[Chris Sheffield]

Well, creating a symlink worked when I tried it just now. What's strange is I thought I had tried that before I sent my original message, but apparently I did something wrong. Just did it again and it worked fine. So thanks for the suggestion, which made me try it again. :-)

I'm trying to get an app update submitted to Apple but need to get this straightened out first. I do have two versions of Xcode installed at the moment, 4.6 and 5.0. Could that be confusing things? And they are not located at the root of my Applications folder. I have them in sub folders "Xcode 4.6" and "Xcode 5.0", respectively.
