Hello,

I always use -isysroot on Mac OS X. In mk.conf add something like the following:

OSXVER= 10.9
XCODE=  /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
XCBIN=  ${XCODE}/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr
XCSDK=  ${XCODE}/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX${OSXVER}.sdk
CFLAGS+=        -isysroot ${XCSDK}
CPPFLAGS+=      -isysroot ${XCSDK}
FFLAGS+=        -isysroot ${XCSDK}
LDFLAGS+=       -Wl,-syslibroot,${XCSDK}

You might also want to create a symbolic link to /usr/include (so built-in 
packages are detected correctly):

sudo ln -s -f 
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk
 /usr/include

That way you don't need to install Command Line Tools for Xcode.

Kind regards,
Adam
