It appears that Metal is required in order to build, and unless I'm missing something, it's not possible to get Metal without installing full-fat Xcode. I swore I used to be able to build with just the command-line tools--I wonder if something changed.

Depending on how long ago you compiled, the thing that changed was that we didn't used to have a Metal backend. |
