Unable to use xcodebuild on Mavericks with Command Line Tools installed

macos, operating-system, osx-mavericks, xcode

Solution

I know that this is a late answer, but in my case this command solved the issue:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Problem

I have installed the Command Line Tools: ``` $ xcode-select --print-path /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools ``` However, when anything tries to use `xcodebuild`, I get the following error: ``` $ /usr/bin/xcodebuild xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance ``` On Mountain Lion it was possible to use this without installing the whole of Xcode, rather just the Command Line Tools. Is it possible to do this on Mavericks? How can I get it working? N.B. This is on a clean install of Mavericks. Update: just to show, I do have the Command Line Tools installed: ``` $ gcc --version Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0 Thread model: posix ```
