Xcodebuild'ing a workspace and setting a custom build path

Question

I\'m trying to use xcodebuild to build a multi-project project in a workspace. When XCode builds a workspace it automatically places all build artifacts in a co

Answer 1

I also met this problem when I build my project from Jenkins CI tool. My main project depends a sub-project. I have tried building follow @Chilloutman's solution like this:

xcodebuild -target TravelGuideMdd -sdk iphoneos -configuration DailyBuild clean build CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=/Users/mobileserver/jenkins_home/jobs/TravelGuide-Buid-For-Me/workspace/build BUILD_DIR =/Users/mobileserver/jenkins_home/jobs/TravelGuide-Buid-For-Me/workspace/build

or

xcodebuild -target TravelGuideMdd -sdk iphoneos -configuration DailyBuild clean build CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR=/Users/mobileserver/jenkins_home/jobs/TravelGuide-Buid-For-Me/workspace/build 

Both of them occur errors Could not find iphoneos in /Users/mobileserver/jenkins_home/jobs/TravelGuide-Buid-For-Me/workspace/build

But I get success finally using this:

xcodebuild -target TravelGuideMdd -sdk iphoneos6.1 -configuration DailyBuild clean build SYMROOT=/Users/mobileserver/jenkins_home/jobs/TravelGuide-Buid-For-Me/workspace/build 

That is: Setting the SYMROOT with a absolute paths.
