The SDK is the command line tools SDK, not the SDK in Xcode. I was hoping to avoid installing Xcode because it's huge, and just use the command line tools. Maybe I have to give up on that idea... :(
Yeh, it's incredibly painful to try anything other than just using the Xcode that targets the release you want to build for. I made some notes:

If you want to target 11.0 then install Xcode 12.4 and use its default (11.0) SDK, though as mentioned you'll start to hit problems with some
software requiring newer standards than that supports. -- Jonathan Perkin pkgsrc.smartos.org Open Source Complete Cloud www.tritondatacenter.com
