I need to build a Xcode project in an automated process on a machine that will not be making any development. I also want to save disk space on that machine.
I thought the xcodebuild command line would be perfect for that. But to install that tool, you need to install Xcode itself. Is there a way to install only xcodebuild and other dependencies?
I tried to install this package, it does include xcodebuild, but other dependencies seems missing.
Now that Apple has a CLI only install, that's probably the best way to go.
Old answer below.
You need some files missing.
- Install this to install GCC and LLVM
- Copy these files from an existing Xcode installation or from the installer :
- Everything in
/Developer/Library/ - Everything in
/Developer/usr/ - The platform you need (iOS or MacOSX) in
/Developer/Platforms/ - The SDK your building against in
/Developer/SDKs/
- Everything in
That's it! Enjoy your minimalist Xcode install.
Do NOT install osx-gcc-installer as @gcamp suggested.
I did, and it corrupted my system files to an extent that I had to reinstall OSX.
This is how you uninstall osx-gcc-installer completely, and restore your system files: http://magnemg.tumblr.com/post/113251602430/how-to-completely-uninstall-osx-gcc-installer
You probably need to install Xcode (I did, when having to upgrade to Qt 5, which had a hard dependency on Xcode. There was no way around it.). Or you might be lucky and can get away with just installing the official Apple CLT:
Apple now provides an official Command Line Tools for Xcode package that you can install without needing to install Xcode itself! You can download it from Apple's developer site (free registration required) and search for "Command Line Tools".

It appears that OSX has changed xcodebuild to require XCode to be installed, where before it functioned properly with only the OSX Command Line Tools installed.
