1466407 - Take a look at the use of MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in NSS code

Status: NEW

(NSS :: Build, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

We currently have a default and minimum macOS SDK version of 10.9.

However, NSS code is in places setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to lower values. I'm not sure if this is an issue, but linking different parts of Firefox against different SDK versions may be bad for various reasons.

I don't see MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET being set anywhere in NSS (only in gtest, which doesn't matter for anything outside or release builds). Can you point to where you think the issue is?

Ah, I didn't notice that when I was auditing the various bits of the moz source. I assume this should be updated anyway to avoid the potential for any weirdness in testing due to a mismatch(?), but not so pressing I guess.
