Confirmed using otool that the minimum OS for the linked build is 10.15:
Load command 10
cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION
cmdsize 32
platform 1
minos 10.15
sdk 10.15.6
That is certain to be the reason why it doesn’t run, but I suspect a local
build might run fine. I’d suggest setting this lower for binary releases if
there’s no pressing reason to require 10.15 on Mac.
For reference when using clang/llvm the relevant compiler flag to set the
deployment target is:
-mmacos-version-min=<arg>
Happy to help further if I can, but I’m fairly inexperienced with complex make
systems (mostly having tended to use IDEs to build my projects) - I’ve done a
little bit though recently one project that deploys to pure data, however.
