I agree, full Xcode install is required. I only wanted to point out that you can do an App Store install of Xcode, then install the command line tools from the preferences of the Xcode app. I think that is more streamlined than opening a Dev account, etc. Of course, if you're building qgis from source, you should be more advanced than the average user, so either way works fine.
