1 year ago New issues (because, of course there's more):
libxml2: when building for SDK version11, it complained that the target was not12... so I made it12and then it failed again with a different error - very similar to dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.10-r4::gentoo_prefix fails to build with Python errors and solved in exactly the same way (by hand) by settingPYTHON_LIBS = -lpython3.10- can we switch back to11?libxslt: errors building thetestssubdirectory (just skipped it by removing it from theMakefile), then almost the same error aslibxml2- solved the same way
Strangely enough, none of the other modules using Python have hit these errors, so it must be some autotools detection magic gone wrong in these two related packages.
Then much later:

py2app(and why?) from the bootstrap python copy in/Users/macos/.new_local/share/virtualenvs/*- which doesn't have it.. I have no idea how to makemesonuse our python (would it be safe?) or how to tell the virtualenv one not to try to importpy2app. Workaround is to make it use the one from our installation of python (dirty - but this works since they're the same python version!):PYTHONPATH=$JHBUILD_PREFIX/lib/python3.10/site-packages meson ---prefix ...The same meson problem occurs with all the

As per https://endoflife.date/macos, only MacOS 11 (aka "Big Sur") is still supported. So we should bump the SDK minimum requirements to 10.15 or 11.
