Apple is not using LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX any longer, as at least one helpful person pointed out. So — we will never “fix” the problem of this not being added, as it is — gone, it appears.

See https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/127450 <https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/127450> and other links.

What we should do, or not do, to have the libraries in MacPorts acceptable to the App Store, if there is anything that can or should be done in fact, is not clear to me from that link.

Best,

Ken
