This is all worked out in Modules/Platform/Darwin-Initialize.cmake: https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/Platform/Darwin-Initialize.cmake;hb=v3.5.2#l38 The logic there has evolved over the years and is pretty solid now. It has good default behavior, and anyone that really needs a specific combination can specify it themselves explicitly. The only question in this thread is whether the warning about the SDK and deployment target version not matching exactly is ever useful: https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/Platform/Darwin-Initialize.cmake;hb=v3.5.2#l97 Note that this is separate from the version compatibility check here: https://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Modules/Platform/Darwin.cmake;hb=v3.5.2#l67 which is an error. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
