How build vlc project in the Xcode by xcodeproj

Question

I found Xcode project in the vlc sources (vlc/extras/package/macosx/vlc.xcodeproj) and want to build it in Xcode application. I read this description https://wiki.videolan.org/OSXCompile/ , but in this one they build vlc by command line :( Do next steps:

1. xcrun clang -> clang: error: no input files

2. sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer -> ask password and complete

3. export CC="xcrun clang" export CXX="xcrun clang++" export OBJC="xcrun clang"

4. git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc.git

5. Open the vlc.xcodeproj (vlc/extras/package/macosx/vlc.xcodeproj) in the Xcode app and press Product-Build.

   After that build error occurs: Schell Script Invocation error error: can't change directory to '/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/vlc-dsmzoapoknxsuwelsoqxjmdnotun/Build/Products' (No such file or directory)

Really directory /Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/vlc-dsmzoapoknxsuwelsoqxjmdnotun/Build/Products not exists, but Xcode create this one then open project /Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/vlc-dsmzoapoknxsuwelsoqxjmdnotun/Build

What I do wrong?

What can I do to build vlc.xcodeproj in the Xcode app?

OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5

Xcode version Version 6.4 (6E35b)

I have been contributing in VLC for a while. And I just got to know that the Xcode Project for VLC is called Pseudo-VLC because it is not supposed to be compiled/ran from Xcode.

For compilation or running, you would have to follow the terminal approach.

The Xcode Project for VLC exists, so that you can edit GUI
