I want to specify SDKROOT for latest SDK that comes

Answer 1

With xcodebuild -version -sdk macosx10.7 Path you can get the Path to the OS X 10.7 SDK. You may replace 10.7 by ${SDK_VERSION} or ${HOST_VERSION} depending on your needs. I know of no command to obtain the version of OS X, which could be used to obtain the Path to the SDK matching the version of OS X currently running.

Note: for xcodebuild to work, the user must have configured xcode-select properly, for example xcode-select -switch /Application/Xcode.app.
