Set Mac OS X deployment target

[ollydev]

Would it be possible to get an option to set MacOS target? I believe currently anything built with SW only runs on the latest macos version.

I think the option for apple clang is:
-mmacosx-version-min=<value> Set Mac OS X deployment target

Thanks

Do you mean programs built by sw or sw binary itself?

[ollydev]

Programs built by SW. It would be similar to how the win-mt flag is done, just passing a extra option to the compiler?

[egorpugin]

There is no such flag at the moment.
There is -os flag. Probably we could support version there.
Like -os macos-10.14. What do you think? Is it understandable for you, other users?

[ollydev]

That would be perfect.

[ollydev]

It's the following in cmake:
SET(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET "10.13" CACHE STRING "Minimum OS X deployment version" FORCE)

[egorpugin]

Yes, but we also need or be able to control:

1. win sdk version
2. linux kernel version

...using some uniform syntax.
-os looks good to me too.

[ollydev]

I'm not sure other OS really apply to this. There doesn't exists flags for the other compilers (gcc, cl.exe) if you want a different kernel/sdk. You have to reinstall.

If this is correct maybe a new flag like -macos-version 10.13 would be more sufficient.

There doesn't exists flags for the other compilers (gcc, cl.exe) if you want a different kernel/sdk.

Yes, but sw will handle this in different ways for different OSes. For example, for windows it will set specific sdk version dependency. For linux - something else. (Maybe syscall list or linux kernel headers version.)

You can try it on macos.
Pass -os macos-10.13 or other version.
Even -os macos-10.14,macos-10.15.
Add -trace to see commands as is to check for command line flag there.

Everything apart from macOS is broken if you're not aware:

[egorpugin]

Yes, I see.
Cannot repro yet.

-os macos-10.13 worked well. Thanks! 😄
