DESCRIPTION

     xcodebuild builds a target contained in an Xcode project.

   Usage
     Run xcodebuild from the directory containing your project (i.e. the directory containing the projectname.xcodeproj package). If you have
     multiple projects in the this directory you will need to use -project to indicate which project should be built.

     By default, xcodebuild builds the first target listed in your project, with the default build configuration. The order of the targets is a
     property of the project and is the same for all users of the project. The active target and active build configuration properties are set for
     each user of the project and can vary from user to user.

   Options
     -project projectname
	   Build the project specified by projectname.	Required if there are multiple project files in the same directory.

     -activetarget
	   Builds the user's active target.

     -alltargets
	   Build all the targets in the project.

     -target targetname
	   Build the target specified by targetname.

     -nodependencies
	   Only perform the action on the specified target(s), not on any targets upon which they depend.  This option only applies to the 'clean'
	   action.

     -parallelizeTargets
	   Build independent targets in parallel when possible.  With distributed builds or multiprocessor machines, this can cause projects with
	   many simple targets to build substantially faster.  This option only applies to targets with target dependencies.

     -activeconfiguration
	   Use the user's active build configuration when building the target.

     -configuration configurationname
	   Use the build configuration specified by configurationname when building the target.

     -sdk <sdkfullpath> | <sdkname>
	   Build an Xcode project against the specified SDK, using build tools appropriate for that SDK. The argument may be an absolute path to
	   an SDK, or the canonical name of an SDK.

     -showsdks
	   Lists all available SDKs, including their canonical names suitable for use with -sdk.

     buildaction ...
	   Specify a build action (or actions) to perform on the target. Available build actions are:

	   build       Build the target in the build root (SYMROOT).  This is the default build action.

	   installsrc  Copy the source of the project to the source root (SRCROOT).

	   install     Build the target and install it into the target's installation directory in the distribution root (DSTROOT).

	   clean       Remove build products and intermediate files from the build root (SYMROOT).

     setting=value
	   Set the build setting setting to value.

     -find binary -sdk <sdkfullpath> | <sdkname>
	   Print the absolute path to binary in the context of sdk.  If the -sdk argument is not provided, find uses the value of the build set-
	   ting SDKROOT, if set. Returns EINVAL if a valid SDK could not be determined.  The search order is the usr/bin directory in the SDK, the
	   bin directory in the SDK, then each of the paths specified by the PATH environment variable.  Returns ENOENT if the requested binary
	   could not be located in any of the searched directories.

	   NOTE: 'xcrun -find' is preferred because it caches the resulting find; xcrun uses xcodebuild to populate its cache.

     -version
	   Display version information.  When used in conjunction with -sdk, the version of the specified SDK is displayed, or all SDKs if -sdk is
	   given no value.  Additionally, a single line of the reported version information may be returned if specified.

     -default=value
	   Set the user default default to value.

     -list
	   Lists the targets in the project. Does not initiate a build.

     -nodistribute
	   Disable distributed building. Overrides the distributed build setting stored in the user defaults by the Xcode preferences panel.

     -bonjourbuildhosts
	   Enable distributed building and search for build machines using Bonjour. Build machines are added dynamically during the build as they
	   are discovered. May be used alone or in conjunction with -buildhosts or -buildhostsfile.

     -nobonjourbuildhosts
	   Do not search for build machines using Bonjour. Overrides the Bonjour distributed build setting stored in the user defaults by the
	   Xcode preferences panel.

     -buildhosts hostlist
	   Enable distributed building and set the list of build machines to the space separated list given in hostlist.

     -buildhostsfile hostsfile
	   Enable distributed building and set the list of build machines to the contents of hostsfile.  hostsfile is a text file containing build
	   machine names, one per line.

     -help
	   Displays usage information for xcodebuild.

EXAMPLES

     xcodebuild clean install

	     Cleans the build directory; then builds and installs the first target in the project.

     xcodebuild -target MyTarget OBJROOT=/Build/MyProj/Obj.root SYMROOT=/Build/MyProj/Sym.root

	     Builds the target MyTarget putting object (intermediate) files in one directory and the products of the build in another directory.

     xcodebuild -sdk macosx10.4

	     Builds an Xcode project against the Mac OS X 10.4 SDK.  The canonical names of all available SDKs can be viewed using the -showsdks
	     option.
