Re: Is support for 10.8 dropped?

[Igor Korot <ikorot01@gmail.com>]

Hi, Eric,
First of, I already have Xcode installed along with the Developer Tools.
Second, here is the list of the different dylib files I found on my system:

MyMac:/ igorkorot$ find . -name libSystem.B.dylib
./Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS7.1.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
./Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
./Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
./usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

I'm hoping that the dylib in the MacOSX10.9 directory does have that
symbol and maybe if I can check I can export this directory and let
the linker pick it up.

And apparently I was wrong:

MyMac:/ igorkorot$ nm -gU
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
| grep strlcpy
MyMac:/ igorkorot$ nm -gU
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
| grep strlcpy
MyMac:/ igorkorot$

I can try to build from source as this becomes my last resort. ;-)

Thank you.
