Xcode – Unable to use xcodebuild on Mavericks with Command Line Tools installed

macosoperating systemosx-mavericksxcode

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

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
