<p>Specify the minimum version of the target platform (e.g. macOS or iOS)
on which the target binaries are to be deployed. CMake uses this
variable value for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-mmacosx-version-min</span></code> flag or their respective
target platform equivalents. For older Xcode versions that shipped
multiple macOS SDKs this variable also helps to choose the SDK in case

<p>If not set explicitly the value is initialized by the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET</span></code> environment variable, if set,
and otherwise computed based on the host platform.</p>
<p>The value of this variable should be set prior to the first

because it may influence configuration of the toolchain and flags.
It is intended to be set locally by the user creating a build tree.
This variable should be set as a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CACHE</span></code> entry (or else CMake may
remove it while initializing a cache entry of the same name).</p>
<p>Despite the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OSX</span></code> part in the variable name(s) they apply also to
other SDKs than macOS like iOS, tvOS, or watchOS.</p>
<p>This variable is ignored on platforms other than Apple.</p>
