How can you generate a Makefile from an Xcode project?

I want to generate a Makefile from an existing Xcode project on the Mac. Specifically, an existing iPhone, Objective-C program on the Mac.

I found PBToMake, but it looks like it is for Xcode 2.1 and when I tried using it, it did not work for an Xcode 3.1 project.

+2  A: 

To build your project outside of the IDE, check out the xcodebuild command-line tool.

This looks like it builds a project, but doesn't convert an existing project to a standard makefile like the questioner asked. Am I mistaken in this? If so, would you mind editing editing your answer to include how you can use xcodebuild to generate the makefile?

It doesn't generate a makefile - there isn't a way to do so. Usually when I've heard people ask "How do I generate a makefile?" it's because they want to build their project from the command line, and just start out assuming that's the way to do so.

A: 

You could try mfg. It is template based and I think (I haven't played with it too much) you could get it to generate a suitable makefile.
