I just follow the build commands listed in xcbuild page.
All of commands i used as follow.

mkdir build      # Creates a directory for storing the build result
make                # execute make
./build/xcbuild  # execute the xcbuild file

I meant what project are you trying to build with xcbuild after having built xcbuild itself?

I am also seeing the same warnings and errors. My cmake version is 3.8.2 and clang is 8.1.0. What I am trying to build is an Xcode workspace for iOS. xcodebuild works fine.

I meet the error too, how to fix the error.

文档工程师 · Answer 6 · Wed Aug 23 2017 12:28:26 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I fix the error by use the pre-release tag 0.1.1 to build project. The master HEAD has wrong.

git checkout 0.1.1
# then rebuild
make

@AwayQuEM Thanks, let me try it.

git checkout 0.1.1
# then rebuild
make

I meet the error too, but when I try your steps, it seems like xcbuild 0.1.1 release version isn't compatibal with Xcode 9.2.
