Can CMake specify the base SDK on Mac OS X?

Question

Does anyone know how to do specify the Mac OS X SDK to build against with CMake? I have searched for cmake mac "base sdk" but this turned up nothing.<

Answer 1

You can set the variable CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT to the chosen SDK upon configuring the project. E.g.:

cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/ ..

See the documentation here.

Also note that CMake versions before 2.8.8 do not support Xcode 4.3.
