The error report there is just a summary.

I usually build from the Xcode GUI, instead of with xcodebuild in a Terminal.  In Xcode you can easily get to error details.

In the Terminal, you need to look back in the output buffer (scroll up) to find the error details.  Default Terminal preferences may limit this to too few lines to do this.  You can change it in the Terminal preferences, Settings->Window->Scrollback, unlimited should be fine.
