Installing Xcode
App Store -> Xcode Launch it after the installation to agree with it's license terms.

Alternatively Xcode can be downloaded from Apple Developers website. Registration is easier and every possible version is available: https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

Setting Xcode version Xcode
In case you have some weird CMake errors during generation attempts such as

CMake Error: Xcode 1.5 not supported.
You might need to specify installed version of Xcode:

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select --switch /Users/admin/Downloads/Xcode.app
After that Cmake will be able to generate projects properly!

or just do

cmake ../
make

sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode_10.1.app

(I have multiple versions of Xcode so that's why it's not just Xcode.app)

After I moved Xcode to the applications folder (it was somehow installed in the download folder) this error has gone.

First Google result for "cmake XCode" is https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.9/generator/Xcode.html which says

This supports Xcode 3.0 and above.

So, apparently this message comes from CMake.

I get the same error but instead of using the graphical CMake, I added the path to the CMake in the Application folder /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/ to zshell path, then started the makefile creation from terminal. It worked.

I then use ./make and the compilation worked.
