[Francis Timmes]

the compiler and ndiff is now being found, so progress.

after installing xcode, open xcode. this will install/update, among other things,
the System library. once xcode if finished doing its thing, quit xcode. 
then issue the terminal command xcode-select --install.

now open a new terminal window. set the MESASDK_ROOT and other environment variables
if you have not set them in your, for example, .bashrc file. then build mesa.
