Error message on mac os x 10.10 Yosemite “Change your project’s minimum deployment target or upgrade My Mac’s version of OS X.”?

Question

When I searched for a mac os x opengl tutorial and tried to build it, I got the following error message. I tried to change "OS X Deployment Target" to 10.10 Yosemite (which I am running), but it has no effect. I can't find any documentation online to explain what might be going wrong, nor could I find any tutorials about XCode 7. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

"My Mac runs OS X 10.10.5, which is lower than tutorial01_first_window's minimum deployment target. Change your project's minimum deployment target or upgrade My Mac's version of OS X."

Here is the original tutorial I downloaded and built with CMake according to the instructions: http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/beginners-tutorials/tutorial-1-opening-a-window/

Answer 1

I ran into the exact same thing. I'm running 10.10.5 Yosemite and am using Xcode 7.0.1 with CMake 3.3.2 and it insisted on generating 10.11 deployment targets.

This answer is a bit dated, but it got me a long way towards a solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26329890/2059999

I can get it to work by manually setting the OS X Deployment Target on the target binary in my project to 10.10, but CMake will clobber my change each time it gets re-run which is annoying.

Answer 2

I ran into this problem after a recent upgrade of Xcode (Version 7.0.1). It turns out that the default deployment target for it is OS X 10.11, which is higher than the one I have. The solutions above do work. However, to set this "permanently" in CMake, find the advanced option "CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET" and set it to the one on your system, eg 10.10.

Setting CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET

我在自制程序中收到此消息并将Xcode从7.3.1更新为Xcode 8.1修复了它
