MacOSX11.sdk

[Nathaniel W Griswold]

Yes, this looks right. If you are on an older 11.<old> system you will only have the newest (MacOSX11.3.sdk at this time). This means that macports will warn you about missing SDK even though it is there and you have all the tools and everything builds correctly.

There was a past email on this list about the issue and the answer was "ignore the warning until you have an SDK that matches your system" but this seems actually not right. The SDKs seem to be backwards compatible since apple only includes the very newest SDK in each new release of the command line tools. The correct answer seems to be to use the symlink unless i'm missing something.

If MacPorts used MacOSX11.sdk when available instead of the more-specific version number, it would reduce some of the problems we have from baked-in SDK paths in some ports. Would be nice if we could fit that change into the MacPorts 2.7.0 release.
