2.6.4. CLI: Xcode

To build an Xcode project from the command line, xcodebuild can be used. Check it can be found:

> which xcodebuild
/usr/bin/xcodebuild

Go to the _builds directory and run the build tool:

> cd _builds
[cgold-example/_builds]> xcodebuild
...

echo Build\ all\ projects
Build all projects

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

But CMake offers a cross-tool way to do exactly the same by running cmake --build _builds:

[cgold-example]> cmake --build _builds
...

echo Build\ all\ projects
Build all projects

** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

By default the Debug variant of foo will be built, you can run it by:

[cgold-example]> ./_builds/Debug/foo
Hello from CGold!

Done!
