Build requires a full XCode installation, not just CLI tools #827

I am using MacOS 10.14.6.

I ran this code:

git clone https://qvacua/vimr
cd vimr
xcode-select --install
brew bundle
git lfs install
git submodule update --init
code_sign=false use_carthage_cache=false ./bin/build_vimr.sh

And I got the following output:

### Building VimR target

*** Checking out github-markdown-css at "v4.0.0"
*** xcodebuild output can be found in /var/folders/rb/5pn99y6d2fd373s3nv4_mpv00000gn/T/carthage-xcodebuild.drs4jq.log

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

It looks like there is no way around this problem without actually installing XCode, which is no longer compatible with MacOS < 10.15. It might help avoid future disappointment to mention the XCode requirement in the Readme 👍

For anyone stuck on MacOS 10.14, the latest compatible version of XCode is 11.3.1: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode-release-notes/xcode-11_3_1-release-notes. It is currently availble at https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_11.3.1/Xcode_11.3.1.xip which can be found on the Apple Developer downloads page.

I ran into this error too, and was still getting it after installing the full Xcode from the app store. I had to run the following command to switch the active directory:

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