what would be needed to build chirp for an earlier version of osx?

Thank you Martin! This is a known issue, and unfortunately Chirp won't
work on OSX 10.11. The legacy version was built on 10.13 and uses a
function that does not exist in the libraries of earlier versions of
the OS. It appears that the issue was not resolved, so I'll try on my
PC instead.
Bug #9393 MacOS Unified Application does not run on El Capitan

Much appreciated!

If you're comfortable using Mac Terminal, try this to see if you can at
least see what the problem is:
$ cd /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS
$ ./chirpw
In the first line, substitute "CHIRP" with whatever the name of your
Chirp application is. Yes, the application is a folder, so you can cd
into it. :-)
In the second line, I am pretty sure that's what the Chirp executable
is named, but I don't have a legacy version handy to check. If it
doesn't work, type 'ls -l' and look for a file (not a directory) with a
name starting with 'chirp' that is executable (i.e. has an 'x' in the
list of flags on the left).
There were quite a few issues around Chirp startup on Mac in older
versions of MacOS, so once you try the above and hopefully get some
kind of error message in the terminal, you might want to do a search
through the open issues to see if someone has suggested a workaround.

Hope that helps.

I use an old Mac running OSX 10.11 El Capitan, so I need to use the
legacy version of Chirp.
Chirp v0.1 is in the Applications folder.
Python 2.7 and 3 are installed.
"System Preferences > Security > Allow apps downloaded from" is set to
Anywhere.
When trying to open Chirp the icon animates slightly as if it is
opening, but the animation is shorter than when opening other apps and
nothing happens. It looks to me like it begins to initiate and then
automatically quits. I get no errors, just a single bounce of the icon
and then nothing. Is my computer too old or can I still get it to run?
Many thanks.
