(1) There is no direct relationship of what FBtoC does to Xcode, so  
essentially you would need to learn how to use source code with Xcode.  
There are lots of books that describe this.

Yes, see point #1.

It is possible, but FBtoC does not provide any automatic mechanism to  
implement your goal via the source code in build_temp. See point #1.

The only guideline is to learn Xcode. See point #1.

I have only used it for trivial things and not a full project.

With the exception of the debugger ( gdb ), FBtoC does NOT use Xcode.  
It calls the compiler directly ( gcc ).

  It is possible to eliminate the use of FB source code and just  
compile with the C code in build_temp. It is fairly simple to do and  
I'd be happy to re-post the steps Robert posted. However, it is not  
related to Xcode and assumes you want to program in C. The debugger  
mechanism in FBtoC creates a basic Xcode project only for the purpose  
of debugging and nothing more.
